Central | Youth and Families
Jackalyn Fehrenbach has lived in Cleveland for a little over 10 years. Over the course of her time spent in Cleveland, being an “outsider” of sorts, she has grown to really love this city. The project she would like to develop is one she has done in small workshops. The project would take programming to schools, youth groups, after-school and summer programs and even to the detentions centers that would allow for young women to be able to learn the skills they need to be successful in the real world especially considering the many social media influences they encounter at a young age. The project would focus on character and leadership development by bringing in young professionals who are willing to share how they achieved their dreams and goals despite coming from challenging environments. From that, mentorships would be created as well as a safe space for them to meet where they can be themselves and feel free to honestly and freely share their thoughts and feelings.
