Through Freedom Movement we get to do a great deal of community outreach with youth in urban areas. This week we visited the NRYAEC and Max taught them about What To Do With $1. What we learned is that with anything, Once is not enough in order to impact and influence real change in other peoples lives. I am able to work with the young women here in a 10 week series on self esteem beginning in September. Max will be doing mentorship with the youth age 13-24 in the area of personal finance and goal setting. We are excited but more than anything urge the community and all FM members to rally next to us to serve the young people in this community to show them several tangible examples of adults who have made it out and have achieved success in their lives. It's hands on and a whole different world in North Richmond but if nothing else we learned that we have a heart for this work and we both really believe in these young people. It's all a mindset thing. Overtime with consistent interest and love shown to them they will be able to create long lasting change...
