PROFILE: Footsteps to Success (St. Mother Teresa)

Footsteps to Success is being hosted at two locations this year, with St. Mother Teresa being one of them. It is one of two camps founded by Andre Fullerton and community partners, created to become involved with youth, and to help urban communities to move forward.

The goal of Footsteps is to build up the community by investing in youth, to give them a different outlook, stronger self-identification, and expose them to different opportunities. The Focus on Youth students brings youthful perspective, positive energy, enthusiasm and serve as great role models for the younger campers.
