Jeff Monroe Foundation - Model Citizen
The Model Citizen philosophy is founded on a belief that every person should be responsible and held 100% accountable for their own actions and decisions. Model citizens are honest, trustworthy, law-abiding individuals that help society by making many admirable differences in their communities. They are people who truly live life with compassion and integrity, willing to give in order to make the world a better place.
The Model Citizen concept consists of VOLUNTEERS ONLY who want to provide the best resources available to our youth. Jeff established the movement with one idea in mind, to educate boys and girls on the importance of exercise and nutrition. Children are our future. They must be taught at a young age how crutial it is to be healthy. The confidence gained by looking and feeling their best can open many doors. Self-esteem is key. It makes kids stronger and more inclined to lead rather than follow. In the end, the education and mentoring helps prevent future weight issues, depression and countless other life-threatening health risks associated with obesity.
