Have You Heard About New Youth Empowerment Program In Killeen, Texas?

Mentorship is defined as the guidance provided by a mentor, especially an experienced person, who is involved with a company, or an educational institution.  I feel that plenty of people here in the city of Killeen definitely fit that description and that truly makes my heart smile. I’m very excited to announce that the city of Killeen has launched a youth empowerment program to help disadvantaged children.

THE KIDS IN OUR CITY ARE THE FUTURE, WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THEM

The children will work on training and skills during the summer through the program and will show why it's so important for our children to be properly prepared for the next step to adulthood. This program will provide summer employment from ages 14 to 17 and these adolescents will be paid $12 an hour and will work no more than 20 hours a week. Morgan Henton, who is the youth program manager says she feels privileged to be able to open their eyes to these resources and help them discover their talents and purpose.

I love this program because the end goal is to make sure that our young adolescents are not only prepared for the real world, but they understand the value of hard work.
