Our Mission: "To turn the hearts of youth and families through education, leadership development and family enhancement services."Because America's youth are under siege with violence, abuse, neglect, malnutrition, lack of direction, and the breakdown of family unity and values, more than ever communities need a youth development organization that is community sensitive, family-centered, purpose driven and results oriented. One such youth development organization is Turning the Hearts Center (TTHC), which grew out of a growing community need and demand to foster programs that empower youth, develop leaders, and keep families together. TTHC, founded in March 2001, offers a variety of programs to meet that community need and demand to empower youth and families. TTHC provides these 12 empowerment groups to best fill the needs of our community:Anger Management      Community Service        Gang Awareness             GED PreparationGender-Specific MentoringIndependent Studies    Music & Fitness               ParentingSafe Parking for Homeless          Substance Abuse            Work-readiness               Youth Leadership Our goal is to motivate, ignite, and transform human potential into human action and leadershiwhere hearts are being turned and lives are being changed!What makes TTHC different than other organizations?
