Part One: KEEP ON STRIVING
ON THIS WEEK'S VOICES OF OUR WORLD JOIN US AS WE VISIT THE STRIVE PROGRAM IN HARLEM, NEW YORK, WHERE THE GOAL IS SIMPLE: FINDING "MEANINGFUL JOBS FOR TODAY'S CHRONICALLY UNDER-SERVED AND UNEMPLOYED YOUTH." OUR GUESTS ARE STRIVE CO-FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT ROB CARMONA, STRIVE'S CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER ANGELO J. RIVERA, STRIVE'S TRAINING COORDINATOR MARIA ORTIZ, AND MAXIE PATTERSON OF STRIVE ATLANTA.
Part Two: KEEP ON STRIVING (part 2)
AT STRIVE, THE MOST NEGLECTED AND UNDER-SERVED PEOPLE ARE HELPED TO OVERCOME THEIR PERSONAL DIFFICULTIES DURING A RIGOROUS 4-WEEK PROGRAM, AND THEY SOON COME TO REALIZE THAT THEY OFTEN HAD OTHER OPTIONS AND BEGIN TO TAKE ACTIVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS. AND THAT IS WHERE THE TRUE TRANSFORMATION BEGINS.
