Randy and Cawanna decided to develop a life-skills program for the Randy McMichael Foundation. This program is to equip at-risk and urban youth with basic but necessary knowledge and life applications. It is the goal of the program not only to equip and affect the youth but also to develop a program that the community at large can become involved in and be able to affect the lives of youth adults.
Life Skills 101 is a series of seven workshops approximately two hours in length where a group of ten males and ten females learn about various topics such as, job interview skills, college application tips, financial management, cooking and table etiquette, goal setting, and peer issues. At the completion of the workshops the students will have a graduation dinner and ticket to a Rams game.
