End School to Prison Pipeline: 10 City Prison Prevention Tour

Atlanta, GA--- Inspirational speaker and author, Desiree Lee, is pleased to announce the start of her 10-city Prison Prevention Tour, set to kick off in October 2013. End School to Prison Pipeline provides a gateway for youth to experience life as an inmate and become more aware of their current opportunities and working towards a future success. Lee focuses on the strengths of each attendee to highlight strategies for growth, change and success.  This program is designed to derail youth and teens from making decisions of crime and transforming our youth into rewarding citizens of today’s society.  The overall goal is to increase the rate of high school graduates and decrease the rate of teen incarcerations nationwide. This in turn brings about a guaranteed solution to improve and transform the lives of our community into a more productive place to grow. Every participant will leave this program with professional tools to help boost their self-esteem, confidence and communication skills, which will help ensure a prosperous future for every teen and their parents.
