Teens Making Strides on the Path to Adulthood

In February of 2010 a few young people set out on the journey of a
lifetime...the Foundations of Adulthood program. They were privileged to come
under the tutelage of several of our community's knowledgeable men and women.
Together they created budgets and explored the value of savings; practiced
etiquette and cooked nutritious  meals; learned to develop their individual
talents while supporting others through their weaknesses. They also took the
time to question the source of their core values and discover their family
histories.

After six months of self-reflection and study, the youth
emerged on August 21st to present themselves as ready to be significant
contributors to their communities. Surrounded by family and friends at their
Rites of Passage Ceremony, they celebrated their hard work and personal growth
as we in the Community showed our love and pledged our continued support.
