Addressing Challenges Facing Young Adults
During Tough Economic Times
"The time is NOW to develop tomorrow's leaders!"
Fresno, CA - Job losses, a limited job market, skyrocketing tuition and epidemic proportion of health concerns are the biggest challenges facing young adults in our community and across the nation. But this is not news. What is news is the grassroots organization that has sprouted up to change Fresno's headlines.
"Just Say Y.E.S. to Freedom" was the theme of last Thursday's kick-off of Young Entrepreneurs for Success (Y.E.S.), a new organization bringing together community leaders in education, health, business and service to implement solutions for this ever-growing problem. The event was held at a private residence.
"These are critical times which require unique and creative solutions," stated Dr. Padilla, local Physician and member of the Y.E.S. Health Advisory Council. Dr. Padilla is a believer in health advocacy, mentorship and service.
"Y.E.S. has called on leaders in the community who have the expertise and the network to make success happen for young adults," said Carol Padilla-Shaath, educator and Director of Y.E.S. Business Development. "We are all stakeholders in the success of this generation and the time is now to develop tomorrow's leaders."
Y.E.S. is comprised of a Health Advisory Council and is currently in the process of inviting community business leaders to their Business Advisory Council. The next level in the tiered system are the professional mentors followed by the peer leaders. Y.E.S. will hold their first Leadership Retreat on July 17 and 18 at Huntington Lake and then begin recruiting Gen Y as members to their one-year program.
Y.E.S. is an "Earn-While-You-Learn" local organization whose mission is to develop Life, Leadership & Business skills in young adults living in Central CA, while supporting a healthy lifestyle and providing opportunities for service & social events. Membership is by referral only.
Membership benefits for young adults include:
1.) Networking with local community & business leaders;
2.) Building a personal referral and resource network;
3.) Giving back to the community through service;
4.) Participating in a Mentor / Mentee relationship for success;
5.) Receiving education and support for healthy lifestyle;
6.) Gaining life skills not received through traditional education; and,
7.) Building another stream of income to gain financial security.
