The internship that I am involved with is, New Pathways for Youth. This non-profit provides mentors for our youth in Phoenix, and responds to the needs of children in dense populations. Along with mentorship, they provide workshops for the youth and mentors that provide a foundation for developing leadership and interpersonal skills. This organization is all about the empowerment of young people, and teaching our youth how to set and achieve their goals.
I am apart of the Positive Adult Leaders in Society (PALS) program. This program is one of five unique programs that focuses on providing exceptional role models for youth between the ages 5 and 15, who have experienced or are experiencing homelessness. During my internship, I will be meeting with my youth once per week, for at least an hour, and for the duration of one year. In addition, my youth and I will be attending monthly workshops that are designed to enhance our bond and coach us through the many learning lessons of life. The most important thing that I will be doing is providing my youth with great experiences outside of their everyday routine, and providing a safe outlet for their new adventures.
