Uplifting our youth and families for a brighter future.
Chosen Leadership Academy (CLA) provides wrap-around services for the whole family. This includes engaging parents, guardians, and students.
CLA believes education and parental interaction will improve family dynamics such as self-esteem, respect, and positive social-emotional health.
The physical wellness, sports, and health program trains students to increase their endurance, strength, and critical-thinking skills. This program demonstrates team and relationship building. Students are given financial literacy and vocational skills through community partnerships.

1st Annual Youth Mentoring Football Camp
The camp was a success! We believe it’s important to expose youth to opportunities that exist beyond their immediate environment. This camp was held at Thomasboro Academy.
Our work is at its strongest when young people feel grounded in their identity, understand who they are, have a vision for where they are going, and a network of support to help them get there.
For some young people, models of healthy relationships and community are readily available. For other young people, healthy relationships may have been damaged or communities challenged.
Chosen Services recognizes the value and the power of something that seems so simple, but whose impact is so great; building relationship, building family, building community.
“With support from our community, we have been able to serve our students better than ever.”
— Tyris Rorie., CLA Founder
