Our vision for the L.O.C.O.S (Leading Our Children Off Streets) Credible Messengers Program is to create a community where at-risk youth are empowered, uplifted, and equipped with the skills and resources to thrive as successful individuals and positive contributors to society.

In this vision:

• Empowered Youth: We envision a future where at-risk youth are empowered to break free from the cycle of violence, poverty, and negative influences. Through our program, they will discover their inherent potential, embrace their unique talents, and develop the confidence and resilience necessary to overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

•  

• Creative Expression: We envision a community where artistic expression is celebrated and utilized as a powerful tool for personal growth and community development. By engaging in creative programming, our youth will channel their creativity into positive outlets such as community murals, embracing the power of art to beautify neighborhoods and foster a sense of pride and ownership.

•  

• Pathways to Success: We envision a world where at-risk youth have access to opportunities that lead to personal and professional success. Our Work Internship Program will provide them with practical skills, entrepreneurship training, and leadership traits, enabling them to pursue fulfilling careers, start their own businesses, and contribute to the economic growth and prosperity of their communities.

•  

• Strong Support Systems: We envision a community where at-risk youth have access to comprehensive support systems. Through our program, they will receive real resources, genuine assistance, and experienced mentors who provide guidance, professional guidance, and connections to valuable community resources. This support will foster an environment of love, support, and understanding, allowing our youth to thrive and realize their full potential.
