Josh Temple's Blueprint for Youth Success: Building Skills and Futures
What that work is is mentoring: maintaining safe housing, continuing their employment, basically mentoring the boy or girl and their boss Every Week, helping them subsidize their housing, giving tools, the right tools for the job.
Imagine a world where every young person has the tools to build a successful life. That's exactly what Josh Temple is striving for with his Trade Life program. On this episode of 'Unpause Your Life', Dr. Cali Estes and Master Coach Jenny Fontana sit down with Josh to discuss how his program is transforming the lives of at-risk youth in America.
Trade Life offers not just career-producing skills in trades like carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work, but also essential life skills that help these young people overcome their challenges and achieve their dreams. Josh's background as an adventurous licensed contractor, known for his roles on DIY Network's 'House Crashers' and 'Disaster House', makes him the perfect mentor for these kids. He brings a wealth of experience and a can-do attitude to the table, inspiring youth to take control of their futures.
Through mentorship and guidance, Trade Life provides ongoing support, ensuring that participants have safe housing, steady employment, and the right tools to succeed. The impact of Trade Life is profound. By teaching valuable trade skills, the program not only opens doors to lucrative job opportunities but also builds confidence and self-esteem. Many of these young people come from backgrounds where positive role models are scarce, making the mentorship component of the program even more critical.
Boys Town supports this initiative, helping to maintain a stable environment for the youth involved.
