Our mission is:
- make a positive impact on youth and families in the Albany/Dougherty County Area.
- develop youth to be responsible citizens locally and give back through community service.
- promote a healthy drug-free lifestyle for families and others that they can influence.

Our goals for the Albany/Dougherty County area include:
- grow the number of youths in the program from 20 to 40 youth by the end of 2022.
- complete more than 1000 community services hours by the end of 2022.
