I have youth waiting to begin our programs. I was recently approved by Wayne Township School system to conduct an after school program. This one school system has over seven thousand children. Policies are in place, job descriptions written, and instructors identified. The next step is securing financial support.
I currently run the program on the west side of Indianapolis, IN the area known as Haughville. I am looking to expand and grow and would love to reach out to children and youth in high risk areas on each side of town.

I am asking all that can and will help us to make a difference one child at a time.
