Foundation of our academy is to "Serve" and teach kids the value of "Giving" as we did our first community service project for USO Missouri at St. Louis Airport
back in 2015 to donate items for in transit reserves active, reserve, retirees and national guard military members and their families. Since inception, we have been
performing non-stop monthly service projects and in year 2017 we have spent around 19000+ volunteer hours and completed following community service projects.
