 This program is only available for state or county court referred at-risk teenage boys. It is a short-term military-style, residential program with a targeted completion of 120 successful days and an emphasis on involvement in community service projects. High standards are set for youth, challenging them to continuous improvement.
Young men in the program go through a two week rotation of attending school at Starr Academy, Rawhide's on-campus private school, and then helping with a number of community service projects. Physical training is also part of their daily routine.
Young men involved in the About Face Service Corps learn about moral values, integrity, honor, courage, self-discipline, hard work, loyalty and selfless service to others. |
