Area Graduations Mark New Beginnings

The John Rex Endowment's August 2009 newsletter describes local graduation ceremonies that in the last few months have set Triangle residents on a path to achieve great things in the community.  They are:

• "Teens Taking Action," Planned Parenthood's health education program that this year graduated eight students trained to conduct peer outreach on specific health topics.
• "Líderes de Salud," an El Pueblo program that has trained 140 recent immigrants on health topics and outreach strategies, enabling them to become health advisors in their own communities.
• "PODER," the Wake County 4-H Extension program that allows Latino teenage boys to learn entrepreneurial skills and form positive life paths.

Learn more about these inspiring programs and the people who make them possible, by reading the John Rex Endowment news spotlight.
