Young Adults Living In Poverty

“The real tragedy of the poor is the poverty of their aspiration” (Adam Smith). Poverty is everywhere in the world. Young adults without a high school diploma living in poverty, is 31% when compared to 24% of young adults have finish high school. In the Love of Education Foundation, we help young adults who are still living in poverty and did not graduate due to having to drop out of school. They dropped out to help support their family at young age. The Foundation works with Dalton High School in Dalton, Georgia. We want to work with the young adults that are living in poverty. They can choose to further their education by going to college. As the chairman of the Love of Education, I want to aid for college by providing programs, scholarships, and fundraising events.
The Love of Education Foundation will pick twenty people who signed up first to get into the programs.
The programs we provide is GED, communication skills, leadership skills, and other workshop programs. GED is first for the participants should accomplish to go further into the program. The GED program would take them to about two months. After graduating, we take the participants into a workshop on what degree suits them to by taking different career test with their personality. Also, we offer to give them the chance to take some communication and leaderships skills and resume workshop. We want to give our participate into getting scholarships. They would need to volunteering in doing some community work of the choice that can pick from our list. It could be trash pickup, spending time in the nursing home, planting a garden, etc. Our goal for the participants to get one hundred and fifty of community service hours. The Foundation wants them to be serious about helping the community and teach them the importance of getting an
education. Our Foundation would want our participants to start a fundraising event to help raise money. We want them to know how to be leaders by starting a fundraiser. First, they will pick a what type of fundraiser would suits them as a group. Second, they would be break up into five groups of fours to have different responsibilities and rely on one another as a team player. For example, group one would pick the venue and the catering. Third, they would come together and hosts the events. Participants would use their skills which was taught from our programs to have a successful event to help raise money. Also, it can be great to use this as a format for them to have conversation with the guest to build up their communication which can the guest is disguise as their future employers. We want them to be leaders and show workmanship of how tough the world is.
