WAS FOUNDED IN 1975 BY HARRY WILSON AND DENNIS WILSON AS A VEHICLE TO REACH AND POSITIVELY INFLUENCE THE LIVES OF COMMUNITY YOUTH BEFORE THEIR ATTITUDES AND BELIEFS ABOUT LIFE BECAME PERMANENTLY DISTORTED. THEY SAW THE NEED FOR A COMPLETE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM TO ENGAGE YOUTH IN A MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY THAT REQUIRED THEM TO BE DISCIPLINED, TO LEARN HOW TO RESPECT EACH OTHER, AND TO WORK AS A TEAM. THEY ALSO BELIEVED THAT BY PROMOTING A FAMILY CENTERED VALUE SYSTEM THEY COULD HELP COUNTERACT THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF THE VIOLENCE, GUNS, CRIME ANDE JAIL TO WHICH THE YOUNG PEOPLE WERE CONSTANTLY BEING EXPOSED.
