919 Marketing Teams Up with Youth Learning Academy
Charlottesville, VA – July 28, 2009 - 919 Marketing, one of North Carolina’s top marketing firms, has been engaged by the Youth Learning Academy, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to assisting at-risk youths develop occupational skills, to help expand their Race 2 Success program nationally.
The mission of Youth Learning Academy (YLA), started in 2003 by President and Founder Tamara Cavanaugh, is to help at-risk youths participate in project-based learning activities that will bolster their academic career and life skills. YLA has created programs focusing on the construction and motorsports industries to prepare their students for successful careers upon graduation.
YLA’s motorsports focus is called the Race 2 Success program. Race 2 Success provides YLA’s students (ages 4-18) with an opportunity to gain knowledge about the motorsports industry through a wide array of activities. These include classroom exercises, guest speakers, hands-on technical instruction, and video conferences with industry experts. The ultimate goal is to teach students the technical skills necessary for successful careers as pit crew members, engineers, or mechanics.
What Kind of Man is Barack Obama?
It has been decided at last: Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States but what sort of leader will he be? The campaign, carefully and brilliantly orchestrated as it was, really only provided a few clues. Intriguingly, and unusually for a practising politician, he has already written several books about himself. By analysing these in-depth we have been able to produce a psychological profile of the President Elect.
Taking his strengths first, it is clear that he is analytical but can also judge mood and atmosphere. Using all of this, he is able to see the bigger picture which may pass others by.
When interacting with others, Obama is able to empathise. When dealing with his employees, in particular his Cabinet, you can expect to see someone who will empower others to work hard, whilst expecting them to deliver results. All of this helps build confidence, loyalty and trust.
