We will conduct three series of four MRC sessions with different groups of 15-20 young men.

Andre Thomas recently conducted another successful workplace readiness training, in partnership with the City of Trenton's Office of Returning Citizens. The group learned about supervisory responsibilities in the workplace. They discussed the power of empathizing with supervisors by seeking to first understand before being understood. They shared their personal strategies based on firsthand experiences. The group discussed multiple paths to becoming a supervisor.

(DYMYL) Leadership Program at (formally Healthy Relationships Healthy Choices - HRHC)

A group of our DYMYL young leaders from visited (GFS) for the last time this school year. Rodney Camarce, GFS staff member, taught them about Armature artwork. An armature is the underlying support structure or "skeleton" that give an artwork or sculpture its shape, strength, and stability. The students completed miniature armature sculptures that represented something about themselves that they're proud of or aspire to. One structure was a track runner in the starting line stance. One was a basketball player in a shooting stance. Another sculpture represented the superhero, Flash.

Rodney also taught them one of the lessons he uses in his Yoga instruction class called, Weights. While wearing weighted vests, the students did a series of exercises. Rodney used the activity to talk about the weight their parents bear raising them and providing for the family. The students left with a better understanding of empathy and how doing their part by carrying their own weight makes it easier for those that are responsible from carrying them through their teenage years.

Today, our DYMYL young leaders from went on an educational field trip to Isles Center for Energy and Environmental Training (CEET) in Trenton. Andre Thomas, Director of Training & Support, and his staff introduced the students to 7 key factors that create a healthy home environment. They highlighted common hazards found in homes (carbon monoxide, lead, mold, pests, dust, and to***co smoke) and their effects on the health of the occupants. The young leaders also learned about solutions for eliminating these common hazards.

The students were exposed to the training labs at CEET. They learned about the processes and functions of a home energy audit. They learned how to use the various equipment used by building performance professionals. The students conducted several safety tests on a furnace for carbon monoxide that included a gas leak test, combustion safety test, and ventilation test. They also had the opportunity to conduct a blower door test that identifies air leaks in the home. These tests were conducted in a mock home designed for training professionals.

Our overall purpose is to expose our young leaders to a viable career path in the energy and environmental industry. Additionally, we are teaching them practical things they can do now in their home that will create a healthy home environment and impact the health of their families.
