We created this podcast to mentor and influence at risk youth and juvenile defenders. We share our stories to hopefully set them on the correct course to not reoffend. As well as we created two programs 1.Motivated to Help Others: A physical training program the youth are sponsored for the daily classes this is to build confidence and trust. 2. D.O.R.T.H.Y is a program that is a support group for mental health and youth development . The three of us served together 100 years in prison and now are sharing our stories through podcasts and mentoring with the goal to help others not make the wrong decisions.
We will use the space to record our podcast as well as do our support groups and mentoring.
Peerspace is on a mission to bring people together. We believe it is impossible to achieve that goal unless we also fight for equality and access to resources in the communities we serve.
Having a space to gather, create, and exchange ideas is an important part of any movement. In order to magnify voices that are often quieted, Peerspace will sponsor venues for people who challenge prejudice and fight for social justice and equality.
Each quarter, we will sponsor space for three projects that are relevant to our community. These projects can range from fundraisers and educational initiatives to art exhibits and photo series.
