There is a tremendous need especially to high risk youth in low-income neighborhoods for programs that provide activities and support.  Research indicates that supervised programs not only keep children safe and out of trouble, they also significantly improve their academic achievements.  Every 26 seconds, one high school student drops out of school.  Throughout our city, children between the ages of 5 and 19 suffer from lack of support in their lives.  There is no way for them to combat the effects of violence, drugs, low self esteem, lack of role models, etc.  We have to give them support to overcome life's challenges.

MVP4Life developed a comprehensive set of programs incorporating the MVP4Life' HOMERUNS Life Skills Curriculum.  These programs provide constructive activities of life skills to ensure success in school, the community and in life.
