Fresh start wants to bring the idea of a community to Outward Bound clientele so that they can continue in their progress to make healthy life choices as they grow up. The idea of a community where these people can associate and live a “normal” life under the guise of health and sobriety is priceless. To not need an organization to create daily activities so said people can meet and live adventurous lives is when this community will become whole and strong. Fresh Start will always provide activities and adventure however, knowing someone to call to come over for a BBQ or to go on a hike is the healthy world we are trying to develop.
The most important thing to remember about art is that any child can participate and there is no right or wrong answer to an assignment. A teacher might ask students to draw a picture of a house and he/she could receive 23 different pictures and every one of them would be correct.

For Many, Summer Jobs Must Mean Something More Than a Paycheck Though there are obvious direct benefits of a summer job creation program, we must look beyond the paycheck and economic stimulus that it provides. In preparing and planning for this prodigious effort, we must look toward the less realized benefit that it affords, which is the preparation of our young adults to break the grips of poverty and learn the skills that schools cannot teach.

The passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Bill of 2009, and its investment of 1.2 billion in youth summer job creation and training is going to give the youth service community the opportunity to put thousands of low-income young people into jobs, and they need to be mindful that a “job” is not a ticket out of poverty. It is imperative that these efforts teach young adults the intangible benefits of a summer job - documented work experience; positive adult support networks; knowledge of industry and the skills needed to advance.
