According to Dr. Jason Carthen, underprivileged and disadvantaged students are the single greatest challenge in any educational system and their communities. Based in social psychological research, the goal of introducing leadership training to these youth, is to combat negative stereotypes, introduce youth to positive role models, and help them increase their self-confidence. A formula Carthen believes lays the groundwork for a creating a healthy and productive, contributing member of society.
