Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The vernon avenue project, inc. Was formed in 2010 to reconnect young men, 17-24, to positive life paths through entrenprenurship, education and leadership. The organization, also known as "reconnect" offers formative entry level work through the youth employment and development program. Work is provided at reconnect graphics. Up to twenty six (26) youth partners were employed in 2020. All were young men not working or in school who experienced the benefits of employment - most for the first time - making strides towards their personal journey to a more positive life.

The organization's mission is to offer employment that leads to renewed engagement in education, training and commitment to community leadership and service. Management is proposing a vision, which seeks to develop a working environment for the young adults of the community by creating employment opportunities while partnering with existing employers in the community. Through reconnect, the aim is to transform the participants into the neighborhood's next generation of entrepreneurs, dreamers and thinkers as they learn to grow with the existing business and reconnect future endeavors.
