Come on in to the Wordboard and help wiaYouth name the new
Leadership Program for Out of School, disadvantaged youths in Tennessee.
The goal is to re-engage the low income, 18-21 year olds, over a 7-county area, by enlisting multiple contractors and launching an adult mentoring program. They are federally funded and will be contracting for job-readiness skills, educational attainment and citizenship...and according to wiaYouth, these kids were "too cool to go to school," so overly cute names won't fly butter.
Not uncommon, quark here has ignored all the dog-walking and pet-grooming posts of late on the
WB and focused entirely on naming this new non-profit.
Here is my thinking so far, but the kids could use more voices from the brain farm here, so why not get involved?
Wild Care Leadership and Mentoring
(okay, probably not what we're after)
TAME - Tennessee Adult Mentoring and Education
[Some other acronyms that could work if you can make them...]
SPARC
CORE
MOTION
READY Re-Engaging Advantaged Disadvantaged Youth ...(almost)
REDY - Re-Engaging Disadvantaged Youth (worse?)
[oh, here we go...]
YOU TURN - Leadership Program for Youth
hipYouth
LpYouth
LP Youth - Leadership Program for Youth
Youth MP - Mentorship Program for Youth
LEAD - Leadership Education and Adult Direction
TAMEL - Tennessee Adult Mentoring Education and Leadership
AMYCE - Adult Mentoring for Youth Careers and Education
...Damn, I might have to open one of these centers myself.
