Again this year, we participated in the Oakdale Home Improvement Fair. We had a birdfeeder building booth and facilitated 50 youth and adults in building our birdfeeders. It was a great event with a lot of positive comments and big smiles from kids.
Elpis Enterprises (Elpis is Greek for hope) is a youth development organization focusing on youth employment training and small business education. Participants "work" all areas of the business and learn, earn, and profit as they go. Operating business enterprises include a four-color screen-printing operation and a woodworking shop that utilizes only reclaimed and recycled wood products. In addition, Elpis' young staff conducts hands on workshops at its facility for youth groups from throughout the area as well as conducting community-building activities at offsite locations.
