TOPGOLF NASHVILLE – 500 Cowan Street, Nashville, TN

On August 10, 2019, 15 YPC members volunteered at the Nashville Rescue Mission in the Gulch by serving breakfast. Darcie Tate Malone said of their time at the Mission, “It was an eye opening experience. We live in this protected bubble, unintentionally. To see how much poverty there is in this wonderful town makes me want to give back more.”  After serving breakfast during the early hours of the morning at the mission, YPC members enjoyed breakfast together afterwards.

Edward Coble /// Updates

McGavock High School Academies  – McGavock High School has a curriculum/pathway for students interested in Transportation/Auto/Diesel. Recruiting the next generation of talent is important to our mission. We’re in research gathering mode, looking for schools with vocational applications in curriculum.  Patrick and Edward did a tour, got an idea of what they had going on, what a partnership could look like. YPC ideally is hoping to do one event per quarter, still looking for ideas how what that would look like. Potentially having kids visiting our locations, having YPC members visit their schools. PENCIL is the accountability organization to fulfill partnership, protects responsibilities for all parties. We had a good discussion with McGavock and PENCIL representatives.

SAVE THE DATE: May 17, Spring Wing Fling  at McGavock. There is potential for us to participate, we will discuss more going forward.
