2006 was the first official year for DCS, Inc. to begin implementing our youth programs.  Under the initial guidance of the organization's Legal Counsel, we developed several tiers of educational programs, satellite projects and work opportunities.
It is our goal to facilitate at least one program and provide as many work opportunities as possible each year.  Ultimately our goals include the launch of our online Christian Education Academy and finally, opening the doors to the DCS, Inc. live-In Christian Career Institute.  As we strive to reach these goals, we will begin providing satellite versions of the overall curriculum and continue to develop and facilitate programs that will enrich the lives of our local minority youth through seminars, workshops, activities, revivals and apprenticeships with our auxiliary companies.
