What it says it does

We train children and teachers all around the world, but mostly in the USA. We teach and train about God and good Character. We do this through camps, VBS programs, teacher training, Nights of Illusions in conjunction with public schools and churches. Our goal is to Win Kids. Win them over to a life of character and a knowledge of God who we believe is the source of all character. In public schools we focus just on Character. Being honest, loyal, dependable, trustworthy, respectable, responsible, stay off drugs and to not be a bully.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
