"Whenever you set out to build a temple, all labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence".
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Mandate
We will find any possible way to empower our children, families, and community with the strength to participate in the ongoing development of their lives, so they can ultimately make decisions as informed citizens.
