Katherine Kim+FollowJacksonville youth get free shot at barberingA Jacksonville barber is opening his shop’s doors to middle and high schoolers for a free, hands-on boot camp that could change lives. Imsety Aten-Re is teaching everything from hair-cutting basics to money management at Neighborhood Heroes Barbershop, August 3-5. Every student walks away with their own starter kit—cape, clippers, trimmers, and more. Aten-Re says it’s about more than haircuts; it’s about giving young people real skills and a sense of purpose. Imagine what this could mean for kids in our community! Would you encourage someone to join? How important are these kinds of opportunities for local youth? #Beauty #Jacksonville #YouthEmpowerment00Share
hfoster+FollowKids Level Up at CITI Camp 🎓✨Imagine a summer camp where kids who've faced tough times get to shine—Cincinnati PD’s CITI Camp is just that! From martial arts to step routines, these 10-12 year olds learned life skills, built confidence, and racked up awards. One camper, Tamia, went from missing out on awards last year to crushing it this time. The best part? These kids are heading back to their neighborhoods ready to make a difference. Love seeing real change start young! #Relationships #YouthEmpowerment #TraumaInformed00Share
andersonkaren+FollowHoops & Healing: Cleveland’s Game ChangerAnyone else following how Keyes to the Game is turning the court into a confidence booster for Cleveland’s youth? Coach Keyes and her squad aren’t just running drills—they’re building leaders and helping kids bounce back from real-life challenges. The mix of basketball, mentorship, and mental health support is making a real impact. Love seeing young ballers step up as junior coaches and mentors. Could this be the blueprint for other cities? #Sports #ClevelandHoops #YouthEmpowerment00Share
Hannah Garcia+FollowHow Project Lifeline is Changing LivesDid you know there’s a program in Avondale literally saving lives? Project Lifeline, led by Pastor Ennis Tait, is connecting young Black men to real opportunities and mentorship—think hands-on skills, community support, and a real shot at a better future. Lamar Riley, who grew up in the neighborhood, says he might not be here without it. Now he’s paying it forward, mentoring others. Proof that the right support can break the cycle and keep kids off the streets. #Safety #CommunityMatters #YouthEmpowerment00Share
