The Youth Employment
Life Skills program,” facilitated by John A. Willis, is
a forty-hour (40) series of workshops broken down into
10 key areas of course study designed to guide and
facilitate youth into meaningful and productive life
styles. Our process, through a spiritual foundation, is
to deposit core strategies of proven curriculum and
research with guided practice activities and instruction
that will enhance each workshop participants’ personal,
professional, and family life as well as society as a
whole. The aim of the WHRDG Youth Employment Life
Skills program is to improve job readiness skills, and
to deter gang related and other criminal activity by
building core skills which will enhance self-esteem and
reveal hidden potential. We have incorporated essential
elements in order to obtain this goal and have
established 10 Areas of Core Life Skills. The essential
elements are addressed in 5 workshop categories that
include Relational Skills, Professional Development,
Employment Strategies, Health & Wellness, and
Parenting & Family Life.
YELS classes will be
held on Mondays and Tuesdays from 5:00 – 7:00pm at the
Paul Lawrence Dunbar Library. All youth who
attend classes will receive a five (5.00) dollar stipend
per class. To participate, youth must reside within the
75216 zip code
