Welcome to the Highlands Project.
Think Globally....Act Locally
Our Mission
The Highlands Project is a non-profit corporation formed to provide opportunities for young people of Warren County
to participate in educational service programs that benefit the citizens of the region. The corporation will provide the juvenile court system and various educational entities a program for students and youth to participate in structured and guided community service projects, coupled with environmental, cultural, and vocational educational curriculum.
The above is the official incorporating statement of the Highlands Project. The purpose of this site is to explain precisely how the corporate aim will be accomplished. The project intends to provide participants derived from the Warren County juvenile justice system and other educational entities with opportunities to accomplish valuable services for the community. These services will require physical labor and participation in a variety of educational activities.
The aim is to provide participants with these opportunities so they;
* learn the satisfaction of contributing positively to others.
* experience the satisfaction of a job well done
* practice in vocational skills in a truly productive way
* communicate and interact with people of various ages and backgrounds
* view work as a positive life-enhancing endeavor
