PARTI Program receives President Obama email from White House

Winston Ashby, Executive Director, PARTI Program, informed the White House of alignments with My Brother's Keeper Initiative, and receives a response from President Obama.
 
SAN JOSE, Calif. - July 5, 2015 - PRLog -- PARTI Program is working alongside President Obama to tackle issues of education, violence, jobs and the stark disparities faced by black and Latino youth. PARTI Program’s mission is to promote education around youth healthy lifestyles and healthy decision making.

“Dear Winston:
Thank you for writing. I have heard from many Americans who are concerned about our Nation’s young people, and I appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts with me.

As a young man, I made some bad choices and did not always take school as seriously as I should have. I didn’t have a dad in the house, and I was angry about it – even though I didn’t necessarily realize it at the time. I made excuses, and I sold myself short.

Luckily I grew up in a forgiving environment. I had people who encouraged me and pushed me to work and study hard, to make the most of myself. They allowed me second and third chances and never gave up on me – so I didn’t give up on myself.

Every child deserves those same chances. That is why I launched the My Brother’s Keeper initiative: a collaborative, cross-cutting effort to help ensure these boys and young men have every opportunity to reach their full potential…

Again, I appreciate your email, and voices like yours will remain on my mind as I continue working to give all children the chance to achieve their dreams – no matter what they look like or where they live.

Sincerely,
Barack Obama"

PARTI PROGRAM:

The P.A.R.T.I. Program (Positive Alternative Recreation Teambuilding Impact) believes that our children are our community’s greatest assets. Every day we work to change the lives of youth who suffer from bullying, depression, violent lifestyles, unhealthy relationships and unstable families. We provide support activities for many low-income and underrepresented youth who otherwise never receive an opportunity to be heard or get placed in leadership roles in their school. PARTI Program believes leadership and service should be the common expectation and experience of all young people.

Established in 2000, the P.A.R.T.I. Program is a non-partisan, non-sectarian 501(c)(3), non-profit organization with the primary mission of enhancing youth critical thinking skills.
