Today the U Can Turn It Around Initiative visited a monthly breakfast hosted in Maywood IL by Maywood Youth Mentoring. This is a monthly event which provides breakfast to youth as well as motivational speakers from all walks of life. This months speaker was Mr . Louis Dooley from Set Free Ministries. He shared an uplifting story of his life which entailed him growing up as a youth that took a wrong turn which led him to serving a life sentence in prison and how that saved his life. Mr. Dooley was transformed while serving his sentence and served only 15 1/2 years as opposed to life. He was encouraging, inspiring and a joy to meet. Maywood youth mentoring is doing a great work. Kudos to Barbara Cole and her team for Turning It Around in Maywood with their positive works.  If you are interested in learning about either of their endeavors check out the links below and remember U CAN TURN IT AROUND!
