Positive Youth Development (PYD)
G.O.A.L.S UNLTD INC. believes in enhancing the lives of our youth through career development, academic advancement, positive reinforcement, behavior modification, newfound community development opportunities, and self-sufficient identity formation. We will address the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), to combat the liabilities that stem from marginalization.
Our services are customized to tailor the needs of our targeted population. Among the various services offered, two programs are grassroots and fosters youth enrichment services in underserved communities.
My Community
My Community, is a program that will target middle and high school adolescents, to help create community service opportunities to foster community development. By navigating these comprehensive opportunities, we plan to fragmentate delinquency and foster youth leadership and community involvement. In strategy, we will re-engage our at-risk youth into a nurturing societal norm that cultivates, and stimulates intelligence; creating newfound community leadership.
Drive Right (program launching soon)
Drive Right, is a program that will target high school adolescents, to help assist with obtaining their driver license by providing a qualified vehicle to perform the road exam. Many adolescents successfully pass the written exam and receive their Temporary Instruction Permit Identification Card (TIPIC), but lack the ability to complete the road exam due to the lack of not having a qualified vehicle (passing the safety inspection for the road test). Many adolescents also experience the overall burden of not having a vehicle to utilize, or economical supportive services. This service will help alleviate the decision to operate a vehicle without a driver’s license, which could lead to fines, overall loss of driving privileges (suspension), or imprisonment.
