COLLEGE TOUR COMPLETE!!!
Thanks to the outpouring of support from the community, Rebound, Inc. took a group of eight (8) young people on a tour of Historically Black Colleges and Universities in Ohio, Washington D.C., Maryland, and Pennsylvania; as well as on a visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture!
Muhammad Ali once said, “If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it - then I can achieve it.” In keeping with this framework for success, exposure to positive possibilities for their lives can be transformational for at risk youth who, with appropriate support from caring adults, can use the seed planted by these experiences to end the cycle of poverty and violence in their communities. Unfortunately, the converse is also true. Young people with perspectives limited by their surroundings can find themselves unable to conceive a future beyond their circumstances. Thanks to the generosity of our community partners, our young people's horizons have been expanded.
Armed with a vision for their future, and the self-concept to carry out that vision, participants are prepared to strengthen their communities by first attaining their own potential, then by serving as an example for their peers and addressing the challenges facing their community.
