Project Redeem, Inc. is a not-for-profit 501c3 youth & family development organization targeting low income, under-served communities, and at-risk youth despite income, throughout Franklin County and surrounding areas. Our Motto is “Building Today, A Better Tomorrow For Our Youth.” We believe that it is necessary to administer good basic principles so that the participating youth can reflect and use those solid principles throughout their lifetime. It is the fundamental goal of Project Redeem to dissuade any and all mindsets that would lead towards bad consequences. Therefore, our Mission Statement is: “Reach’em, Teach’em, Before The System Grabs’em & Keeps’em.”
- Making good choices in difficult situations/conflict mediation and resolution;
- To create self esteem and self worth/Character building;
- Teaching consequences of choices that are made (good & bad)/Solid faith-based principles;
- Peer pressure situations;
- How to be Creative/Time management;
- To achieve our goals, we will evaluate our means of delivery by using the tools of tutoring, educational prep-testing, arts (museums, theatre, music), sports programs, healthy eating programs, personal hygiene, and guidelines in goal-setting.
