OFFERED TRAINING:  For Youth

We EQUIP Youth for School, Work and Life

A majority of our youth are unprepared for the challenges of young adulthood. The costs of helping them are far less than what it will cost if they aren’t prepared for college, work or life. Therefore, one of the main goals of the Training Institute is to EQUIP local youth with the knowledge and skills so that they can make wise choices about their future, become useful members of their communities and take control of making their lives better.
