The purpose of
Right Moves for Youth
is to increase the number and percentage of Charlotte-Mecklenburg students who stay in school, get an education and lead productive lives.
Right Moves For Youth 's
mission and purpose are realized in the operation of school-based clubs and neighborhood-based community clubs led by dedicated volunteers who promote positive youth development by enhancing participants' academic accomplishments, leadership ability, life skills awareness, self-esteem, civic responsibility, and cultural awareness.
Right Moves for Youth
volunteers are the backbone of our organization. In each club we strive to have a "three-legged stool" consisting of a club leader, a law enforcement officer, and a community volunteer to provide three unique role models for our club members.
Finally,
Right Moves For Youth's
"pay to play" philosophy rewards students for their achievements by providing opportunities to participate in a variety of athletic and cultural activities.
