In Heroes are Warriors, I learned that you don’t have to follow anyone’s steps, you can follow your own. I used to follow what others were doing; drinking and having bad relationships, but now I’m more into my education not worrying about what others think and say about me. My advice to others would be “be yourself, knock down those walls…who cares what others say?
— Heroes are Warriors student, Riana S.

“The Heroes are Warriors program is a wonderful example of how to build the confidence, character and integrity in these children; to build them up into confident youth, through to adults, and to nurture them along the way.”

sample story

“You’re useless and you’ll never amount to anything.”

Those words rang in Jeremiah’s ears as he was expelled for fighting and bullying. He told me that in his heart, he wanted to believe that those words were a lie. But a little voice in the back of his head kept saying “were they?”
