About Us
Youth in South Los Angeles communities are faced with several disparities and challenges, including poor academics, high school dropout, gang violence, drug use, lack of social responsibility, teen pregnancy, character issues, childhood obesity and an overall sense of hopelessness, helplessness, and despair. In the spring of 2006 J Tech Institute, Inc. became a community-based organization (Falcons Youth and Family Services) and opted to use the social capitol of sports (American Football), mentoring and to promote/support the development of self-assured, future-oriented youth become positive, productive adults.
Mission
To empower disadvantaged, underserved youth to excel in life through educational services, health/nutritional awareness, physical activities, social responsibility, cultural appreciation and long-term mentoring; furthermore to rebuild youth and families by repairing the damage done by social messages that do not teach or validate personal and or social responsibility.
