Life Directions is committed to young people and young adults "at risk". We want to prevent their dropping out and stepping into violence.
This has been the dream of Life Directions since Novemvber 1973. To sustain the mission we put in place ways to ensure the roots of the vision of "peers inspiring peers" are supported with on-going strength.
Each year we salute a person who has been part of such an effort. This year Victor Dickson has been chosen by the Corporate Members of Life Directions. He joined us in 1995 in Chicago, when he was regional director for Sprint. Now he is the Chief Ministry Officer of Family Harvest Church in the southwest suburbs of Chicago.
In Life Directions he is the vice chairperson of the National Board of Directors. His steady and consistent leadership continues to inspire his peers, the follow board members, to turn obstacles into opportunities in a very practical way. His passion for young people to be excellent and be ready to make peace possible through working for justice has become part of the fabric of Life Directions.
Join us on November 8th. Register on line at http://www.lifedirections.org/ or call 773.265.5806
