Aspiring Young Entrepreneurs – “AYE” 

AYE equips young people with the values and vision to pursue their dreams. We strive to develop the mindset of youth at an early age in order to instill entrepreneurial and economic principles that will help them to overcome any barrier or obstacle in life. During this program, students from the age of 10 and up will learn how to create a business model, business plan, budget, and marketing plan. Once complete they will work with a mentor to launch their business, create marketing materials, create product, and establish financing. As part of the final phase they will find a venue to showcase their product and continue the business. 

During this entire program the youth will be exposed to soft skills that will teach them how to; conduct business meetings and luncheons, how to dress and talk for success, how to create and establish relationships and mentorships, and how to build resumes and portfolios.

LIBERTY Heights

Liberty Heights Transitional Housing

Purpose

Liberty Heights Transitional Housing (LHRC) is a 6 room home for women in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania established to alleviate homelessness caused by youth aging out of the foster care system, unaffordable housing, low paying jobs, and unemployment.  LHRC will provide long term housing while providing supportive services and mentoring relationships that help to establish a holistic and healthy lifestyle.

Center Goals and Objectives:

It is the goal of LHRC to provide a structured environment where women can regain a sense of stability and hope, while reconnecting to a network of community resources and opportunities that will lead to self-independence.

The SEES program which will be the core component of the supportive services and is structured to allow each individual to “SEE” all that they can be through: 

Spiritual counseling that will encourage each participant to examine who they are in relations to what has transpired in their life to cause their crisis. This psycho-social assessment is the beginning stage in developing a strategy that will move toward healing, restoration, and a new mindset that promotes high self-esteem, healthy relationships, self-sufficiency, and self-worth. This segment of the SEES program will encourage each person to “Renew your Perspective” and think about things differently creating new opportunities that will transform their lives and reduce or eliminate stress, conflict, and depression.  Life coaching workshops will also be required to provide cognitive behavioral training that deals with trauma, emotions, decision making, and rational planning.

Educational training to develop skills and acquire the necessary degrees that will lead to higher paying jobs and career transitions.  This component of the SEES program will provide counselling to acquire core competency hands on training for trade, health, and allied services; preparatory tutoring for GED and college placement testing; classes on parenting, interpersonal and computer skills, which will allow each individual to “Reinforce your Proficiency” in order to obtain gainful employment and marketable skills.

 

Economic positioning through resume writing, work ethics, job interview skills, financial workshops, budgeting classes, job placement and dress for success classes. This will allow residents to “Reclaim your Prosperity” and become self-sufficient through employment and earned income.  In addition, each woman will be reintroduced to social assimilation through where they will be able to identify their true passion and reason for life, and develop a plan of action that will help to “Restore Your Purpose” and develop support system, relationships, and activities that promote and enhance a healthy life style and good citizenship.
