Pepsi Grant Of $100K For Youth Center
I’ve known Josh Purdy for a long, long time – not only is he a good customer – he is one of the most honest person i’ve met. Josh is a straightforward and easy going person who works at the Youth Center – yes ! i’ve known this a long time ago. So today – while i was reading up about wrinkleremovers i saw on local news online that Josh had applied for a Pepsi Grant of $100K – well – it’s really a contest – but the $100K isn’t going to himself. So if you are from this town or even if you are not but a reader of this blog – please help Josh make a difference by going here to vote http://www.refresheverything.ca/yarmouthyouthcentre – i hope Josh wins – why? because this town deserves something good.
Purdy is the executive director of Split Rock Learning Centre, located in the DomTex building on Water Street. He says up to 300 youth drop in monthly with a wide variety of issues: homelessness, addiction, looking for work and more.
“We try to help them focus their energy, sit down and talk with them, try to get them help through our many partnerships with other organizations like the Tri-County Pregnancy Centre, Mental Health department and others,” said Purdy.
“We also try to get them engaged in the community. A lot of them have been in trouble with the law or are in danger of being in trouble. We get them involved in community cleanups, peer mentoring and other activities. – source – novanewsnow.com
