The Manifest Your Destiny Foundation is looking to provide hope and
growth to the teens of New Orleans through education. We are looking to
provide a safe place for teens to socialize and learn all while living
GREEN! The opportunity also will teach the community about service and
help grow as a community. But the project and MYD Foundation needs our
help.
The house will be open 7 days a week and during school holidays to
ensure that students will always have a place to learn, grow and
socialize safely and receive hot meals that may be scarce at home while
parents work. Students will also be learning how to live & work
green while bringing those ideals to their neighborhoods. Tutoring,
workshops, gardening, field trips, internship/job placement are all
apart of the curriculum overseen by counselors and certified teachers
to ensure that the MYD House Program students will be ready to make
their next steps. The facility & surrounding property will be
completely green, house up to 150 students, plus volunteers, staff
& administrators per day.
The Pepsi Refresh Project is giving away funding to help ideas like
this and all you have to do is vote, daily. It is easy enough as
placing a page on your Facebook page, blog or twitter and casting your
vote for this program.
