Our program connects the wisdom found through proper character development with the tools necessary for creating sustainable social change. The end result are students that understand the significance of their influence, and how to eagerly and responsibly handle it. Whether through our year long-program, our in-school program, or our short-term cohorts, C.O.R.E. develops youth into community leaders.
We take time to teach students basic life skills that they would benefit from no matter their career or passion.
Examples include
Budgeting/financial management
Basic home repair
Basic car repair
Tutoring
