The Rites of Passage Ceremony:

We use the "Passage" in the context of renewing and committing oneself to a purpose and a goal. Upon completing the academic year, the youths and their parents/guardians that are enrolled in our program, are invited to attend a formal Passage Awards Program.

At this event the youths will be recognized for their individual achievements. Here they will have an opportunity to reap the rewards of their success and also interact with positive role models of the "village". The Honor-Guard will also perform the "Rites of Passage Ceremony", for those achieving this level.
