About CHOICE
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of CHOICE is to empower youth to become leaders of character, vision and action in their communities by challenging their creativity and equipping them with the skills and the motivation to become a CHOICE.
CHOICE is an ideal resource to address the needs of struggling youth. A large number of children exposed to gangs, drugs, alcohol, abandonment, neglect, bullying and other community hardships will benefit from this life changing experience. Creating a high energy assembly program that is curriculum based, aligns to state and national standards, and still relates and connects to the youth of today is the vision of the design. This type of intervention program will mesh with the efforts that educational leaders have already put into place in order to reach youth in a comprehensive way!
Program
Nutrition Exercise and a Winning Attitude make participants a product of their own Choosing.
CHOICE a 10-module, interactive program for middle and high school students conceived and presented by Eric James, M. Ed.
A continuation of the Hip Hop Healthy Heart Program for Children, this high-energy program addresses the needs of middle and high school students. Comprehensive and curriculum-based, CHOICE aligns to state and national standards while delivering a fun, eye-opening experience that inspires today’s youth to take a journey of self-discovery.
CHOICE offers participants a 10-module step-by-step roadmap for improvement and growth that leads them to a lifetime of enhanced self-esteem. Students are encouraged to take responsibility for their actions, to become familiarized with good character traits, to emulate positive role models and to become good citizens with high moral values. This systemic approach unwraps buried potential and provides students with the determination to cease being a product of their circumstances and instead become a CHOICE. Each week, students are introduced to a new commitment in which they will use standards based curriculum and activities to master the concepts.
Program Delivery
Currently Eric James is presenting the program at middle and high schools throughout the U.S. Future plans include producing an on-line IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) production of CHOICE accessible nationwide for in-classroom and group presentation.
“No one should ever underestimate the resiliency of the human heart. I had the courage to follow my dreams never giving up on myself. Motivation, fortitude, and a strong belief in self are absolutely critical when trying to attain your goals. I am glad to say, “I have a CHOICE.”
Eric Antuan James, Creator of CHOICE
