Providing opportunities to develop interest and pride in their communities.

Offering chances for teenagers to form a positive attitude and self-image, feel successful and achieve goals.

Providing socialization and competition through constructive, supervised recreation.

Instilling in youngsters a sense of pride, success and accomplishment.

Providing and enhancing coping techniques such as appropriate communication and problem-solving abilities.
