Outreach Program

1. SKILL ACQUISITION. We train those that are homeless and at risk of homelessness or underprivileged in a lucrative skill over a short period of time after which we set them up with a small business or gainful employment. During this process we provide mentorship in assessing their progress. For instance, we have a braiding program whereby we teach individuals who are less privileged or homeless how to braid. Once they have learned the skill, we provide a shop and tools/resources needed to start a small business with the newly acquired skill. While starting their business, we provide financial/business mentorship towards building their business and becoming self-sustained and independent. 2. SPOKEN WORD/POETRY. We provide a therapeutic outlet for individual that are homeless to process trauma and heal from the wound(s) of trauma through spoken words/poetry. 3. We engage individuals that are homeless with chess which research has shown improves memory, builds interpersonal skills, develops impulse control, encourages being calm under pressure, enables critical thinking, builds emotional/mental resilience, increases confidence and teaches that actions have consequences.
