of self -empowerment. Within the Career Institute, we will help youth make informed decisions about their futures by considering their college and career options. We will offer career readiness by hosting career guest speakers, financial literacy class, career research projects, mock interviews, and resume writing workshops. We will team up with college students to take youth on field trips to local colleges and universities to tour and motivate them about the benefits of higher education and its gateway to a wider range of career options. Within the Health Institute, youth will develop a healthy living lifestyle. Youth will have the opportunity to engage in 30 minutes of daily exercise during recreation time. During life skills classes, we will engage youth in interactive activities that teach them about good nutrition and how to cook healthy food. We will also have quarterly trips to go hiking, camping, or other recreational activities. In addition, we will host health workshops on the benefits of nutritious food, oral health, germ -spread prevention, and living an active lifestyle. In order to increase the likelihood of the youth's success, we strongly believe that parents must be involved in their children's education. To achieve this objective, we will hold monthly parent meetings to teach parents about the school system, benefits of higher education, best practices to support their children's education, preventive health, and technology use. We will refer them to ESL classes, job opportunities, nutrition classes, and community resources.
