For six weeks this summer, 89 young people took part in a jobs program through South Bend Venues Parks & Arts—and Bendable was their partner. They took five different courses and a career assessment, with 87% of participants indicating that the learning was “relevant to my future.” Eighteen-year-old Devan Negron (shown here) found the course on goal setting to be particularly useful. “I learned to take small steps and go at a steady pace,” he said.
