HEALTH
Our health programs will target children, the elderly, and families. These programs will encourage personal fitness and healthy lifestyles. We will support and collaborate with health-related organizations to coordinate and create awareness and advocacy campaigns to reduce health disparities. In addition, we will co-sponsor health forums to address diseases which disproportionately affect women and minorities. Examples of these programs and forums include diabetes awareness and prevention, asthma prevention and management, promoting healthy eating habits, benefits of daily exercise, effects of hypertension; and critical programs for men, women and children fighting autism, breast cancer, prostate cancer, childhood obesity, kidney, and heart disease.

Age and grade appropriate curriculums will address the following: enhanced academic preparation, math, science and reading skills, decision-making skills, leadership development, cultural awareness, civic engagement, and character building. We will also provide educational scholarships to high school graduates.
