INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Dozens of families came out for the second Far Eastside Youth Anti-Gun Violence and Drugs Summit Friday afternoon hosted by the Pathway Resource Center.
One of the biggest draws for the summit was the graduation of 25 teens for the Training Youth for Success program, a monthlong job readiness program that teaches teens the basics they need to set a strong foundation for the future.
It’s a foundation that teens like Jamyah Gillard say will be remembered well past graduation day.
“It was amazing,” Gillard said. “I loved hearing my name get called up a lot.”
