Vision

The Compton Jr Posse invisions Inner city youth who are empowered as leaders and outstanding contributors to their local communities and society in general.

Mission

The Compton Jr Posse leverages the rich equestrian heritage of our community to give inner-city youth an alternative to gang and other street life based influences by providing a self development focused program,  where participants are taught the value of education, hard work, career planning and making positive contributions to society.  This year, our specific mission is to develop the first Inner City Equestrian Team and Charter School
