Had a fun experience teaching the boys how to rethread the spark plug hole. It's one of the most annoying things to happen while driving. Spark plugs popping out on old@Ford vehicles is very common. They now can fix it!

The boys in their first suits! Tying their ties for the first time. They said they feel like they're ready to do business!
Will post the photos and their bios when they come back so you can get an idea of who they are individually!

Just finished some interior painting and now changing oil!
The boys are becoming proficient and good at their work with my guidance! I'm having to teach less and less! I'm feeling great!
We're almost to $10k for our school in 6 days!

Got a small plumbing workshop going on! I had the boys ask how much do they charge for plumbing? $95/hr! They immediately tuned in even more! Skilled trades is where it's at!

We took some time out today from our manual labor to learn what to do with our money once we make it! One of our local banks offered to teach the boys simple budgeting and financial literacy! This was absolutely needed.

Learned how to install a door and door frame! Had to make this a workshop for today! All 6 of my boys are 14-17 and that's just our summer camp.

The boys painted the exterior of this home with my guidance! Can you believe some 14-16 year old boys painted this entire house almost flawlessly in 2 days? This is why I want to open a school for my organization! Teaching Self-sufficiency!

Did a brake change workshop with the boys! They all learned how to replace brake pads! This is one of many workshops my program has done! God said, "Let US make man." That implies that I could assist with making men in my community! I turn 21 on Sunday! Started this at 19. pic.twitter.com/FW4CSdolHMShow this threadShow this thread -
0:36This video is from Week 7 of the book club I started, before the virus. I began this book club to target the low reading levels among our boys where I live. We'd learn vocabulary words every week. The key words were Passion, Purpose, and Adversity. Can't wait to start back. pic.twitter.com/V14L84hY2bShow this thread -
Just taught the boys in my summer camp how to replace brake pads and rotors!
I try to learn something new everyday so I can come and show them!
They're learning everyday that nobody is holding them down! We can move for ourselves and be successful! pic.twitter.com/AqVDCBzM5TShow this threadShow this thread -
I have 6 boys living with me right now in my house and their parents trusted me with their children for the summer. A 20 y/o black man who they dont even know. But they believed in me anyways. I'm posting this because I'm just sitting back like wow. I've been giving my all. pic.twitter.com/QbaWX2Y71BShow this threadShow this thread -
Just taught the boys in my summer camp how to change the thermostat on a vehicle. It's one of the easiest jobs that takes only about 7-15 minutes depending on the position. We've been putting in work all summer! Skilled trades is where it's at! pic.twitter.com/nArdY8LML4Show this threadShow this thread -
After a week of learning how to do sheetrock, hanging ceiling fans, and changing oil, the boys learned weapons safety and how to fire different types of weapons. This workshop was super important because none of them have ever fired a weapon. It always feels great to teach! pic.twitter.com/V9ZaVwJMUgShow this threadShow this thread - End of conversation
