Our services include education and training, mentoring programs, community leadership programs, service learning, lifestyle coaching, career exploration, and entrepreneurial development for at-risk, disadvantaged children/youth and adults. Overall, Royal Heirs are people builders who train, educate, empower, and equip others with the tools and knowledge needed to rise above their life situations and circumstances.
