A new program to help at-risk youth and young adults will be launched this summer in Winston-Salem.
The program is called The Positive Path program (PPP) and is a spin-off of the Successful Outcomes After Release Program, which provides employment to former offenders in the city.
The goal of the PPP is to ensure that those between the ages of 16 and 24 are equipped with the skills and tools needed to be a success in the workforce. It will use life skills and hands-on training and exposure to science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics (STEAM) to enrich their lives. A holistic approach will be used with a strategic curriculum to shape their social behavior.
Those who are part of the program will have access to advisors who will help them through the program. The program will also offer National Center for Construction Education and Research instruction and General Education Development (GED) instruction for those without a high school diploma.
More details about the curricula for such programs and their benefits for attendees can be outlined with brochure printing.
The Project Supervisor for PPP, Faith Bartlett, said that the program is designed to make a positive impact in the city. Bartlett added that the program will provide a path to success as it will offer training in the trades and STEAM subjects, and will help build esteem.
