HOW DOES IT WORK?
WHAT IS THE GOAL?
By utilizing the strategies inherent in these Core Areas of Programming, we strive to instill in each member a:
Sense of Competence - the feeling that there is something boys and girls can do, and do well. Sense of Usefulness - the opportunity to do something of value for other people. Sense of Belonging - a setting where young people know they "fit" and are accepted. Sense of Power or Influence - a chance to be heard and to influence decisions.
