2. INTRODUCING CENTERED
Our mission is to connect and engage our readers into a single
community of aspiring young men in order to highlight and
promote positive change guided by a set of passionate, timeless
core values and principles-for the betterment of our future,
communities, families, and ultimately our world.
Centered Magazine is based around the idea that change
is inevitable and the ability to adapt to these changes are
sometimes difficult. We embrace these changes in our society
and community and hold the responsibility to ensure that they
will be positive. The dynamics of our culture are so wide and
influential that our mission is to be a wide and dynamic force of
influence and inspiration. We insist on doing business with honesty
and integrity as we hold tight to the moral values upon which we
are based. It is our dream that one day we can make an impact
on society by doing things differently, creatively, and correctly.
