FIT TO MOVE BRONX
Ubnlinks Fit to Move Bronx.
This is our Social Justice outreach to the community to inspire and help low income kids and at-risk young people TO enhance their well-being .
“Point your kids in the right direction—when they’re old they won’t be lost. “Proverbs 22:6 The Message (MSG)
In fulfilment of our mission, we invest in our Children to increase work, educational and job-training opportunities that lead to stable careers for youth and adults so that they can become responsible citizens.
We know that most parents want their child to be successful but not every child is given the same opportunity. For this reason, so many young people from low income families struggle to find jobs or are stuck in low-wage positions with little chance for advancement because these youths lack the skills or training they need to get jobs that can prepare them for the future, pay them or support their family.
Technology been an ever-advancing and growing field and so many people, for profits business and non-for profits organizations want everything in an instant
Artificial intelligence and robotics growing day by day and there is this fear that the advancement of these technologies and automation will replace some jobs because of their efficiency to homes and businesses. We know that there are some jobs that they cannot take away or replace in its entirety and that is life skill trades.
Classes (Ages 7 -16)
Plumbing, Masonry, Construction carpentry, Electrical, HVAC, and Career counseling classes.
We teach and give them valuable opportunities and resources while they make new friends and learn life skills.
We know that minority kids lack positive role models in the community where they live. Even when people make it through their neighborhood, they don’t live there, they visit, so our Fit to Move program , offers strong, adult role models and mentoring relationships that bolster self-confidence, social skills and interest in academic achievement.
These young people get a chance to learn some basic plumbing, woodworking, masonry, electrical, HVAC. Students complete simple projects to take home or sell.
Classes (Ages 7 -16)
Cooking Classes
We teach basic cooking skills. Our culinary programs believe that hands-on programs such as cooking are necessary for the at-risk youth population. We know from experience that cooking is a key life skill which will set the young people in good stead for their future well-being, as well as build up self-esteem and self-confidence. We live in an age of fast Food restaurants and Grab-go, so teaching these young people some culinary techniques, so that, they learn the basics of how to cook healthy and nutritious meals for themselves and their families.
Our Classes are on Fridays 4- 6 pm and Saturdays 10am -3pm
