Program
Our vision is to empower and equip the next generation of leaders by teaching skills that are relevant to everyday life. The next generation is of the utmost importance, and we are dedicated to a program of prevention rather than intervention to prepare our children for the future.
In the fall of 2008, Chosen Heirs plans to launch a program for boys.
