JUST A KID FROM SICKLERVILLE MENTORING AND LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
The Just a Kid from Sicklerville Mentoring and Leadership program (JAKFS) is geared toward the youth and young adults. The goals of this program are to teach basic life skills, the value of education, and quality life choices, and how to create a thriving future. Tyler Hines, Founder of JAKFS, created a structured mentoring program that focuses on at-risk students failing classes and experiencing discipline issues. The mission is to provide the youth of Sicklerville, and surrounding communities, with the tools and opportunities to pursue and accomplish their dreams. Tyler’s goal is to show the youth the possibilities that await them as well as how to face challenges they may face on the road to success. Since 2018, JAKFS Mentoring and Leadership Program has led efforts to improve these communities and cultivate confidence needed for our youth to succeed.
