Hope for Miami Hosts Self-Reliance Club Training
Do you serve children, youth and their families in your school, club, community center or church ?
Ismael has been invited to speak and train over 40 schools in Miami on the signature Self Reliance Clubs. The Freedom & Virtue Institute’s (FVI) Self Reliance Clubs (SRC) initiative, now a national program, initially started in Lee and Collier counties in SW Florida. The SRC includes elementary and middle schools. This initiative provides students with the opportunity to earn money for school and other education-related supplies through the achievement of goals, school performance, extra-curricular activities like urban farming, and volunteerism; achievement and reward that comes from the initiative, hard work, and self-reliance. The SRC helps our young people make the connection between hard work, self-reliance, and accomplishment.
As you can imagine, we are honored and blessed to share this program. Thank yo to Hope for Miami for sponsoring this momentous event.
