Start Something
Project Manager: Joi Marsh
Project Members: Claytonia Hamilton, Georgette Pastor, Staisha Hamilton, Mary Lewis
Project Location: Tuskegee Housing Authority
Start Something is a dream-building program that will get young people thinking about who they are and what they can do their lives. It’s inspired by the book “Start Something,” written by Tiger and Earl Woods, and it’s about helping young people identify their dreams and goals and showing them how to take steps to reach them.
What will participants do:
An amazing amount of interesting (and mostly fun) stuff!
• Read and talk about leadership, heroes and being a team player.
• Think about what you really like to do and what really makes you happy.
• Explore some careers that fit your talents and personality.
• Create an Action Project and then carry it out.
• Learn why it’s important to give back to your community.
In a nutshell, young people will work on building qualities like initiative, leadership and a positive attitude. Which simply means figuring out how to get where you want to go, and doing it in a way that helps others, too.
