The typical Purple Knights of America employee/volunteer has many goals and vision, however, the biggest of them all is simply, "making a difference in the lives of youths". Many of the youths we serve come from single parented households where most Mothers and Grandmothers are portraying the roles of both parents; Whereas, other members of the organization come from a parented household which is headed by both the Mother and the Father. The PKOA's picture is to create an environment that will meet the needs of most disadvantages that our youths may face. In doing so, our goal and mission is to provide the support they need by offering programs within the organization that is tailored to their needs.
