Mission Update - Chicago Youth Serve Louisville's Homeless

Chicago Youth Serve Louisville's Homeless

     Alpha Phi Alpha's Leadership Development Institute reaches out to students from 12 to 18 by providing leadership and learning skills that will enhance their chances for future success!  The pattern of older men mentoring young men is nothing new, but for high school students growing up in today's complex world, the challenges are always new and different!   Recently, a group of young participants from Alpha Phi Alpha's Leadership Development Institute spent a steamy afternoon in the outdoor sun painting the iron fence surrounding Wayside Christian Mission's Hotel Louisville.  The work was hard, but with all their energy and muscle, the job was completed in record time!  The repainted fence looks great and it was our pleasure having this group of teenage boys from Chicago here with us!  Thanks to all who participated--and thanks to their adult chaperons, too, for investing their lives into the next generation!
