The 'Leading the Cubs' program aims to provide anti-social youth with opportunities for social and leadership development through one-on-one mentoring with children. The program focuses on improving social interaction, reducing negative behavior, and fostering skills through activities such as homework help and field trips, all free of charge. Partnerships with organizations like the Boys and Girls Club facilitate necessary resources, while marketing efforts aim to engage youth without labeling them as anti-social.
