I took a look at the site, and I see a problem with it that we have had here in the US. Such people, with no job and few skills, are often the victims of con artists who get them roped into sales schemes, especially, where the "skill" basically being taught is a glib tongue and a willingness to bend the truth, if not outright lie.

I am not saying there are no honest and honorable salespeople. Most of the successful salesmen are people who believe in their product and can convey that belief to customers. Who have a good product at a fair price. But about the only thing young people learn from going door to door selling magazine subscriptions, for example, is that going door to door is a rotten way to sell.

Another problem is the extent to which such an effort becomes politicized, so that only certain options to "solve" the problem are permitted. Creative thinking means going outside the box in even defining the problem, let alone offering a solution.

Helping kids find jobs and supplement their education is important, but doing it so that what you are giving them really is help is even more important. Clogging the government bureaus and non-profit organizations with political agendas, with name-calling and finger-pointing into the causes of these kids' being so marginalized by society, is not going to help.

Creating jobs kids want to try because they are entry level into more interesting positions, that will help. Funding scholarship programs for all sorts of schools, vocational as well as high-grade liberal arts and everything in between, that will help. Being a part of the information conduit so kids know something about what their options are, including the unconventional ones, will also help.

Every manager and small business owner needs to consider the efficiency of hiring someone inexperienced and training them in the way you do things versus hiring someone more experienced who may be set it their ways, have out-of-date skills to unlearn as well as new ones to learn, and far higher salary expectations, is not something a business manager does for charitable reasons. It is good business sense to give an eager young person a chance to learn and to compete.

And for the very same reason, it makes good personal sense for a young person to be eager to learn and to compete.

Retreats are constantly solid, a blended bag of coaching, ministry and exciting. possibly a pizza evening, or possibly a make-a-pizza evening. hey how a pair of pizza bake-off! possibly do a action picture evening with a dialogue after on the Lord of the earrings Trilogy, the Narnia sequence, even action picture star Wars and Indiana Jones. communicate any Biblical or God-based parallels or messages. you additionally can do an open-mike experience and serve snacks. Have volunteers on your group sign in to do a music, some drama, a stand-up comedy improv, issues like that.
