Graphic Design Impact Center Program:

 The “Healing Children through Careers (HCC) Graphic Design Impact Center” is an on-site career development program for youth that is part of the Career Pathways to Independence Program. This innovative program will enhance competitive employment opportunities for youth and help prepare them for more advanced technical and “white collar” jobs in graphic design, print and distribution.  The specific goal of the program is to teach graphic design and printing skills as well as social and life skills so youth become successful community members.

The specific goal of the program is to expand youth’s horizons and help them help themselves through graphic design and technical skills needed for employment and  adulthood. Youth who participate will be better equipped for independence, the world of employment and advancing their education. The cost of child abuse can be devastating to the child, families and the community as–a-whole.  Children who experience abuse are nine times more likely to become involved in criminal activity, human trafficking, and develop suicidal ideations.  This program will provide employment training of a marketable skill that will help youth overcome these statistics and transform their lives and the effect they will have on their community.
