Living Spaces Next Steps - LaunchPAD to LAUNCH

Thanks to everyone for helping with the Living Spaces project that Willow Chicago sponsored at Breakthrough!  The rooms are put together now and Breakthrough is officially interviewing candidates for the five 18-24 yr old males that will occupy those rooms.

For more information on the program that they'll be going through and maybe even find ways to volunteer your time, click on this link here: http://breakthrough.org/article/52/new-launchpad-program.

The program is called LaunchPAD and will provide holistic training for the 5 young men that get accepted into the 18 month program.

In order to get into LaunchPAD, the young men who are nominated must be enrolled at least part-time in continuing education or work at least part-time in a job where they have opportunity for significant advancement. They must also demonstrate a willingness to invest in the community. The young men go through an interview process, much like they would encounter for a job interview.
