In the late 1990’s community leaders had a passion to impact the “neglected 60%” of students—average teenagers with untapped potential who would one day make up the bulk of the community.
The five founders (Madonna French, John Lightle, Tim Harris, Mike McMillan, and Chuck Roome) wanted to reach students at a critical age as they begin making important life and character decisions. In partnership with Dr. Jim Laub, a curriculum was developed emphasizing servant leadership and conveying that students really could achieve.
This curriculum is now being packaged so that it can be made available to help other communities.
