The Emerald Frontier Project

Max Brown woke up one day after taking early retirement from his life long teaching position and realized that he needed something to do with the rest of his life. With the help of the local School Superintendent, he found a group of very special kids that needed him as much as he needed them. These young people had a great deal of potential, but because of abilities that were above and beyond the norm, they were considered to be outcast. They wanted to hide there god given gifts and blend into society. Once Max and his wife Lauren began working with the group, they began to realize their potential. As more and more young people joined the group, the stronger their skills became and the more they realized that they are not different, but rather they are gifted. Max and Lauren invite you to come along on a journey to a world of tomorrow.
