Man
Kim spoke to the students sharing his humble beginnings. He enforced getting a
good education, having a good work ethic, and integrity. P&P
students were totally immersed in his every word, and they all had questions to
ask. It was exciting to hear!
Man Kim was so gracious inviting the students to dinner, allowing them to order whatever they wanted. |

| Many thanks to Audrey Perott, Associate Director of Outreach
provided thought-provoking financial literacy training that had the
young men rethinking how they will use and spend their money. To learn more about what they learned, read the article "Prepping for Success." |

| P&P was challenged to explore the difference between needs and wants, and it was an exciting conversation! |
From the Garden of Farmers to the Produce Market
Greenleaf Produce Market opened its doors after hours to tour Primed & Prepped students. The young men were fascinated by all the different fruits and vegetables that the host,
Georgette Nelson, Inside Sales Representative, introduced and allowed them to sample. Chef Berlin was on hand to explain a few things as well. Then, Georgette sent the young men back to the Y's Kitchen with some excellent treats they prepared the following day. Roasted Broccoli Romadesco was on the menu!
Georgette Nelson was in her element explaining how Greenleaf operates on a day-to-day basis.
