One of my associates at The Pacific Institute, Angela Nesbitt, is working with the Manhattan Criminal Court in New York City to help with some of their juvenile offenders. Instead of strict incarceration, they had 24 youth go through the PX2 program and are now tracking the youth with regular follow up. The hope is that these young people not only turn from a pattern of criminal behavior, but that they become responsible and active members of the community in a positive manner.
Angela’s passion for the program grew to a new level after her daughter went through it in February. She loved the program for youth aimed at helping them succeed at their goals and dreams, but watching it bring new focus to her daughter was a proud and powerful testimony for her.
The different settings in which PX2 has shown to be an appropriate program is surprising a lot of people. It’s application reaches beyond the world of sports and leadership training. If your group of young people would like more information about PX2 and how it can be implemented, please contact me at zparsons@pac-inst.com, or click on the PX2 link in the header of this page.
