the project

Statement from Peter Thompson Founder of Family Rescue Shelter, and creator of a "Path To Success", I share my sadness and anger for the senseless and unnecessary killing of George Floyd and so many others who have suffered injustice and the family of Mr. Floyd including families in the past who have suffered the same. When I decided to start a Path To Success, the purpose was to change not only black youth in a system that offered no substance to their future, the system not only fails black youth, but poverty stricken youth.

Our mission is applying realistic life skills to prevent youth homelessness which in most instances became homeless less than six months of aging out. Youths age out with virtually no skills to become gainfully employed, no money management training, and no opportunity for permanent housing.

Dayton Ohio experienced tornadoes that we need to look at on the ground throughout the region, maybe even more,” said John Franks, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Wilmington, Ohio. The weather service issued 36 tornado warnings overnight across the region.

The Corona-virus is best described by Montgomery County Commissioner Carolyn Rice and Dayton City Commissioner Matt Joseph said both governments are trying to help people and businesses navigate the health crisis, unemployment, food needs and other problems related to the pandemic even as tax revenues plunge. By law both governments must balance their budgets and the county has already announced $18 million in cuts.

Adults are suffering from these effects, but adults have more reliance, experience, will power and the determination for survival. When the adult has a rough road, youths seem to reach out to drugs and crime, which causes communities to suffer more by paying for their incarceration.

The program is focused on changing not only the main stream of education, but to change the mind set, the personal ambitions to succeed and take on the challenges that life has in stored for our youths. Systematic programs such as educational institutions and homeless shelters as to  only offer Band- Aids when the open wound requires stitches therefore decreasing the risk of infection.

The changes will not come right away, but as a society don't we count on the future? Ohio has the chance to be the very first to make an impact on youth, why not be part of that impact, solution, and notoriety that we as a State made that change.  

The results of this program could revolutionize the way foster youths are perceived and with the inclusion of “Establishing Industry-Recognized Apprenticeships,” IRAPs are high-quality apprenticeship programs that provide individuals with opportunities to obtain work place relevant knowledge and progressively advancing skills. The program has been tested and approved by The Department Of Labor.

"A PATH TO SUCCESS" needs your contributions for some preliminary funding for domain development, a webpage, website design, computers for virtual learning, software, equipment, paper, ink, while waiting for funding approvals. Help support what could be the most systematic productive cost effective youth investment for Ohioan's, and revolutionizing a educational pathway for our youths.

why we're doing it

Statement from Peter Thompson Founder of Family Rescue Shelter, and creator of a "Path To Success", I share my sadness and anger for the senseless and unnecessary killing of George Floyd and so many others who have suffered injustice and the family of Mr. Floyd including families in the past who have suffered the same. When I decided to start a Path To Success, the purpose was to change not only black youth in a system that offered no substance to their future, the system not only fails black youth, but poverty stricken youth. How can I as one person make that statement with true honesty?

I lived through the 60's, Martin Luther King Jr, Lewis Farcon, the black panther party. My brother recieved over 40 stitches from a Irish police officer,thinking my brother was someone else, my father being forced to get food for us, but being told he could not sit at the counter of a five and dine, and could only do take out.I remember as a child white parks, and black parks, white water fountains and rusty looking fountains for blacks, My grandmother was the sweetest woman you could ever meet, she was a slave as a child, I worked for the sheriffs office and was still pulled over for a DWBB (Driving While Being Black), so "Yes", I am quilified to voice my own personal opinion.

One thing that reduces my hatred stays in my mined was my father's outlook reguardless of how he was treated said "The World Has Good People, and Bad People Reguardless Of Their Color. Yes, we all want change, but who is the perfect group, govenment, social services, our governors, majors, city commissioners, law enforcement, No, our youth, our future, by not educating our youth properly we shall always be limited to social and economic change.
Support "A Path To Success", and invest in the future of our youth, and make a social and economic change through them. We all want a better life and not wake up to a child being shot, because they are 14 years old and out on the street at 2:00am, carrying guns at 12 years old, having babies at 15 years old, to scared to vote, cursing at 10 years old.

Family Rescue Shelter is promoting "A PATH TO SUCCESS" to create a method that will impact youths that have anger issues, control issues, leaning disabilities and transform those negitive thoughts into positive ones. Two methods are implimenting an apprenticeship program approved by the department of labor, and offer the educational portion via online. Connect youths with compaines associated with the department of labor program (I.R.A.P) jobs for youths from a database created by the department of labor. The design will allow the local schools in the area to educate the local youths with no intrusion of displaced youths in the system to cause over crowding, will not affect local schools to in crease student to teacher ratios.

The second method will offer foster youths 14 years of age to 16 yeears of age to particapate in a vocational trade school that will provide education and hands on professional job skills. The job skills shall offer remodeling homes for the beautification of poverty stricken neighborhoods, auto mechanics, auto body repair, welding, culinary skills. The program will not only offer job skills to youths, but benefit the community by offering low income residences with services in the job skills offered to the youths, reducing how much residences pay for car repairs, car body repairs inculding welding, and resale of remodeled home at low budget costs that also affect the beutification of the neigborhood.

Every youth particapating in the project recieves $5,000.00 upon completion of the program, paid wages after completing the instuctional portion of the trade school, wages fron the apprenticeship program, which will be managed by a bookkeeper. The financial portion acts as an insentive for youth to control their temper, increase a sense of purpose, and create a positive mind set for the future.
