Project Community Proudly Launches Visionary Interfaith Youth Programs
Project Community, a non-denominational Pelham-based charitable organization, is dedicated to assisting teens and young adults with successful programs and intervention that deal with crucial issues such as self-awareness and anxiety. These are the two topics of its unique upcoming seminars as part of a pilot program that invites Juniors and Seniors from the interfaith community to participate. Spearheading this interfaith initiative is Project Community’s new Board Member Jennifer Jerabek, who says, “We feel that this is a wonderful opportunity for leadership skill-building and understanding of these two crucial and significant issues facing our youth today: Self Awareness and Anxiety. Now more than ever, our kids need tools that can successfully help them with today’s challenges, and then use these new skills to prepare for post high school life.”
The programs are directed by Project Community’s expert healthcare professionals, resulting in the “knowledge to navigate” through life with impactful education, direction, and confidence.
“The seminars are designed for students from our interfaith community to learn skills which they can then use to support others.” Dr. Anne Frost, Founder and President of Project Community, continued, “Our hope is that these dynamic students can not only help themselves as they move into adulthood, but also friends and loved ones around them.”
