The Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development motivates youth to reach their highest potential. We have designed programs based on Mrs. Parks philosophy of “Quiet Strength” which engages youth in hands-on experiences to build practical day-to-day living skills. We promote multicultural participation in our program to provide youth with a cross-cultural exposure for nurturing a global and inclusive perspective.
