Our objectives will be to:
- Encourage each individual to strive for their best and nothing less
- Encourage each individual to think for themself and have their own mind and not have it programmed by society or school
- Build self-esteem in all aspects of life, working collaboratively with families and schools of these individuals to identify problem areas
- Encourage education and development through unique experiences and innovative methods that differ to what is used in school
- Tackle any ongoing mental health issues that may affect the progression these young people can make in other areas of their life
- Help these individuals to dream big about what they can achieve and the careers and lives they can go on to lead
