When it comes to juvenile crime, if you're not part of the solution, that's part of the problem. Your help is vitally important in stopping this growing epidemic of juvenile crime that is sweeping our country. Project Action Foundation, Inc., founded in October 1994, is a non-profit children's charity fighting juvenile crime by providing disadvantaged and "at risk" children opportunities to become involved in physical and cultural arts programs.

These programs are uniquely suited for the personal development of children, stressing such values as respect, discipline, courage and integrity while also teaching goal-setting skills and instilling a positive work ethic. PROJECT ACTION works closely with local law enforcement agencies and school counselors, as they are the main source of referral into the program.

PROJECT ACTION received the 1997 Florida Governors Award from the late Governor Lawton Chiles and was recognized the same year by California Governor Pete Wilson for keeping children out of gangs. Since it's creation, PROJECT ACTION has provided opportunities to thousands of youngsters in dance, gymnastics and marital arts schools across all 50 states. Many of the children have shown remarkable turnarounds, sometimes from straight F's to Honor Roll, after becoming involved in PROJECT ACTION.
