Tomorrow I meet with a person from a nonprofit that qualifies to form a team. Applications for funding must be sent by July 14th, 2015. Although the funding allows for people younger than 18 to 25, this is a parameter that has been set. This program might fall dead on the launch pad.
Two adults desire in earnest to get this going in the Oklahoma City Metro area to provide more help for young adults in this transition period of life. Youth with disabilities and all disabled are employed at much lower rates than those without a disability.
The two adults meeting tomorrow morning have a desire to thwart this well known fact. I see a social area of this program developing. Meeting friends that you can rely on in life is a golden chance. Knowledge is key in getting ahead in society. Knowledge and skills, once learned, cannot be taken away from you.
To me this chance at forming a group to help young adults explore careers, network to discover friends or job openings in the career you want, providing these young adults with caring older life guides and that want to teach you things that will give you freedom to live life the way you please.
The funding says we have to cover a set amount of material and training in certain skillsets. Beyond that I want to show with innovative programs you can get jobs you love. Checking out how to own your own entrepreneurship by providing options others have ruled out without considering the creative or inventive, “good old American know how!”
I believe in the young adults this group has targeted. If you give me the chance, we are lucky to file for the funds in time, and a nonprofit that allows us to seek refuge under their exempt status; please contact me via Facebook.
Again, I beg of you, remember this will be a rushed work in progress without any promises being able to be made at this point or even further down the road. Prayer is something I believe in and ask you keep me and this possible group formation to accomplish the set goals in mind; of course, I ask for success and a reminder
to let God lead us.
