Programs
Adult volunteers and community support will ensure the continuation and expansion of these important community risk reduction programs.

The teens discuss, plan and execute many types of community service including feeding the homeless, painting shelters for battered women, drive by rakings, making greeting cards for the troops overseas and many other activities.
