Teens with IMPD CARES freshened up their fades at Faded Dreams Barber Salon for a higher purpose on Tuesday. The mentorship program helps inner-city students become productive members of society and realize their full potential.
“When you’re walking down the street and see yourself in the mirror and other people look at you, you wanna look your best. When you look your best you feel your best," Khyree Jones with IMPD CARES said.
“Violence is up and coming. Especially for youth. We’ve seen it in the city and we see it in the news. We take those kids and bring them in to a safe environment for them to be able to learn and get educated on different things. Also, to know that the community actually supports them. When they’re spending three or four hours with us having conversations and dialogue and being able to engage with peers, they’re not in the streets and placed in dangerous situations," Jones said.
They also addressed issues these kids deal with every day like poverty, gun violence and problems in school.“Sometimes you just want it to be just for me. You don’t feel like maybe you can trust everybody with what’s going on in your mind because it’s your mind," Harris said.“Being able to be open and express your feelings with them. They care," Harris said.
