- making young people feel confident and ready for their future.
A university and a community organization work together to help young people. They want to give students good education and teach important life skills. These skills help students make good decisions and prepare for their future.
People from the university visit the community organization to talk with the students. They give advice about how to think clearly, communicate well, and plan goals. This helps the students to be ready for college and work.
The university shares knowledge and helps with training. The community organization gives a place where students can learn and practice new skills. Both groups support each other to make a positive difference in young people’s lives.
They want to keep working together in the future. They plan to do more workshops, talks, and mentoring sessions. Sometimes, they may offer internships or scholarships to help students more.
This cooperation helps young people feel confident and ready for their future. It shows how schools and community groups can join hands to support education and personal growth. Together, they help young people build better lives.
