Five teenagers were honored recently for completing life skills training and goal-setting exercises through the City of Danville’s Project Imagine program. Designed to steer young people away from gang involvement and community violence, the program continues to provide participants with essential tools for personal growth and future success.
This latest group of graduates marks the 32nd class to complete Project Imagine, bringing the total number of successful participants to 192 since the program’s inception in 2018. The graduates were Sariya Crews, Amari Davis, Zy'Quale Dorty, Khiylan Stamps, and Corithian Tarpley.
Project Imagine equips participants with tools to build productive lives through mentorship, goal-setting, and strength-based assessments using Casey Life Skills and Clifton Strengths tools. These resources help place youths on a path toward achieving goals such as avoiding law enforcement contact, improving grades, completing school, and securing employment.
Each participant is also assigned a dedicated outreach worker who provides mentorship for at least one year.
