B.E.S.T. Youth help their Oak Park neighbors building empowerment skills today
B.E.S.T. A subsidiary WM development. We believe one of the critical ways to stop violence and crime in our communities is by exposing underserved youth to activities, which bolster their job experience, give them a sense of self-worth and keep them off the streets. The Oak Park community that we serve is riddled with deprivation, crime and a sense of isolation. Our program recruits youth, ages twelve to eighteen, from the Oak Park area. Our program is a three-week, three-day-a week, summer youth development non-profit organization, paying the youth a $20.00 a-day stipend.
