How has your work touched the lives of youth in your community? By being a strong Advocate for the Youth and others, positive change has taken place as it pertains to Education, as the result of being a part of DMC there has been a decrease in the number of Youth now obtaining criminal backgrounds while still in School.
I'm Honored to be the Author of Project PRESS, Project CREST and Project YES. As the result of the NAACP Project PRESS ( Parents Rising Encouraging Students Success) there has been an increase in Parents Advocating for their Child/Children. As the result of the NAACP Project CREST
(Churches Rising Encouraging Students Success Today & Tomorrow) some Churches are now providing resources for the Youth that has caused Youth to be better in School and their Community. As the result of the NAACP Project YES (Youth Encouraging Success) through the Free Starter Library Project ( I Read, You Read, We Read) has enhanced the reading Skills of many Youth which has resulted in them doing better in School. This Project YES has also opened up doors for the Youth to earn Community Service Hours, that is needed for College Scholarships, as well as them being trained to be a Leader at a Young age. Also as the Founder and Pastor of Christ The Caring YOUTH Ministry, Youth lives has been touched and changed through the YEP (Youth Exposure Program), EOSP ( Eyes of Success Program),
CC(Confidential Counseling). WOE (Words of Empowerment), and FT ( Fellowship Time).
