No Color Lines Global
Over the summer, I volunteered at an organization called No Color Lines Global, or NCLG. This organization is a great way to actively engage kids in the neighborhood with extracurricular activities as well as teach them marketable and practical skills about life. The mission of No Color Lines Global is to serve the needs of the community, by applying basic and fundamental strategies, in which emphasize the importance of education, promoting cultural diversity, and teaching marketable skills. The purpose of this organization is to teach pre-teens and teenagers to have positive attitudes and self-worthiness which will motivate him/her to be a part of building stronger communities while making contributions to their families, schools, government, and religious-institutions.
Over the summer, I volunteered with the kids, and was able to assist in any way possible. I had the opportunity to watch the play that these kids thought of, wrote, and produced. It was amazing to see the work and accomplishments that these kids made, especially because the kids range from 12-18. That is a considerably young age, to me, and for them to accomplish this success was truly remarkable to see.
The play was called “They Came to Dance” and it was about a timeline of generations, set back in the early 50’s. The play was considerably intellectual and was a great play. Seeing actions like this is proof that children value education and literacy, and more programs such as this program needs to be enforced to improve our children’s education.
No Color Lines Global is a non-profit organization that works with teens and pre-teens to help them establish practical life skills, a sense of self-worth, confidence, and a positive outlook on life. To do that, we meet them where they are, and help to take them where they want to go in life. By incorporating dynamic programs in education, mentoring, tutoring, business skills, social intelligence, and emotional maturity, NCLG will create stronger communities and, in turn, help society as a whole by creating youths who can be productive contributors and leaders in society. No Color Lines Global offer and create supplemental opportunities in communities, schools, or churches where programs already exist. No Color Lines Global’s philosophy is that the key ingredients of effective programs include fostering emotional skills, identifying, assessing, and managing feelings, teaching humility, a positive attitude toward life, self-awareness, and accountability of personal decision making. By selecting people of high character to assemble and facilitate the programs with the above components, No Color Lines Global feels that our youth will model this paradigm and build their character.
