Tikkun Long Island Long Island

Welcome back!! This week we've got two updates for you. We apologize for the brief time that our website was down and we apologize for the delay in posting these recaps. The good news is that our site is up and running and Program LIVES is as strong as ever! Week 11 - April 16 At the session on April 16, Taylor and the participants covered a wide range of topics. First, they spoke about the New York Standardized Testing that some of the group participants were taking part

We have a short recap this week. This past week produced a rare opportunity in the mentoring world. Kim was able to have a 1 on 1 session with one of the program participants. While Tikkun Long Island and Program LIVES want to help as many people as possible, anytime we get to work 1 on 1 with a participant is a fanstastic experience. The more time each participant gets to spend with their mentor, the more they will open up which will result in us being able to better help

This past Thursday Tikkun Long Island and Program LIVES was fortunate enough to have Judge Marlene Budd come speak to the group. Judge Budd told the group her story which started in the foster care system and ended with her on the bench of the Suffolk County Family Court. Judge Budd focused her talk on what steps she took to break into the field of law. Judge Budd's talk was especially meaningful as a few members of the group have shown an interest in law.
