Today our featured guest is Kim Jordan of the village saving Jared. Kim defines the initiative as a gift. She, explains in the podcast episode that her program was designed to honor the son she lost at the age of 18 years old.

The village saving Jared does group counseling, workshops, healthy choices/life skills, nutritional education, and mentorship. These focus areas provide young people with mentors who add value and guidance to young people.  The skills learned in her program is directed to what the youth have identified as fields of interest. She shares how the experiences of the program have helped to cultivate confidence and self-esteem in young people.

The skills, tools, and resources developed in Kim's program are helping them to become comprehensive youngmen. Youngmen who are experiencing and exposed to a variety of things that they usually wouldn't see in their neighborhood.

A 10-year-old youth in her program saved his grandfathers life due to fire safety training the fire department provided to youth in her program.

Miss Jordan's commitment to our community and vision of creating a legacy of investing in our youth is transformational. Please support The Village Saving Jordan, you can find them on facebook.
