Teaching tae kwon do to inner-city kids.

So, cool new opportunity:

I found out through the grapevine about a really cool organization here in NYC that lets black-belted instructors teach young inner-city kids.  It's all volunteer, but the general gist is to channel the kids' energy and time into something that makes them feel good about themselves, teaches them discipline, how to think for

Alright, I hardly know you 'cept from the help_them_heal community, but... what is the name of this program? :O It sounds like it's... something awesome to do. Not in a "oh that's cool" sort of way, but... as referenced by your later posts, a legitimately *good* thing to do.

It's set up as a part of a larger program through a coalition of willing elementary and middle schools called the Youth Excellency Service (YES) or something, I think.

It gives me SO MUCH PLEASURE. I love being able to do something and use it to actually make a difference.
