Do you ever find yourself troubled by the state of the world? With so many issues like abuse, obesity, failing marriage, STD's, cheating, dishonesty and disrespect, how will our children have a successful future? I don't have that answer, but all I know is I want to be part of trying to make it better. My goal is to start a non-profit after school program, similar to the Boys and Girls Club, focusing on the following topics:
 |
|
- Physical health - Good nutrition, regular exercise, no substance abuse or dependence, avoiding violence
- Emotional well-being - Positive self identity, life satisfaction, positive outlook
- Life skills - Decision-making, basic cooking, how to change a tire, how to balance a checkbook, understanding credit cards, financial responsibility
- Ethical behavior - Telling the truth, keeping promises, obeying the law, demonstrating concern for others, taking responsibility for oneself
- Healthy relationships - Bonding with parents and peers; involvement in groups such as community sports teams, church groups, music groups, etc.
- Respectful romantic relationships - How to court and date, doing what you say, being creative, showing respect, being a lady or gentleman

The program will be based in Christian values, yet all will be welcomed. If you have any wisdom or interest in this area, please contact me here. Here's to a brighter future!!
