New Hiking Boots for Emil who is finishing high school

Posted May 13, 2019
This summer we will be taking a group of young men on a 3 day camping trip to Red River Gorge. Emil has earned a spot to attend this trip because of his leadership skills and success in our independent living program. This will be the first tent camping trip for our young people. We will be talking leadership and relationships with them while exploring the Gorge! Each attendee will need hiking boots and we are asking for an REI gift card so we can take them to purchase proper fitting footwear for this trip!

Emil is 24 years old and lives in OH

Emil is currently in our independent living program. He is one class away from graduating high school and has also recently obtained his temporary driver's license. Emil is a really good singer/rapper. He enjoys recording music with his brother and they both perform when they have a chance. He is dedicated to attending group with his peers and sees the value of completing the independent living program.
