Procedures

●
We worked with the kids on labor projects to
give them the hands on training that most youth
don't get until they get their first job. They were
majority clean up projects so it wasn't too much
but it gave them the experience they needed.
We also had them participate in classroom
activities such as reading books, having open
conversations about debatable subjects,writing
summaries on different topics and used some
sports games as an example for character
building.
