Automotive Street Style | January 2011 | JYD Project: Charity Edition

From The Publisher I’m excited to share this charity edition of Automotive Street Style with you. In this edition you will be informed of the role that you can play in assisting a student along the road to the workplace.

As an auto enthusiast, I love the way car owners customize, wax and show off their unique rides. But, I am troubled by the lack of TLC that our kids receive in polishing up and presenting their skills to a rapidly shrinking workplace.

So this upcoming school year, I have assembled an awesome pit crew to inspire 50,000 students to gather up the tools needed to navigate the highways and back roads of life.

The Project 50/50 is my personal goal to do something more than just sit back waiting for Superman to save us.

STUDENT SUCCESS INITIATIVE

The 2011 Rally 4 Kids will support the Williams Group in its effort to confront the drop out issue at 5 CCSD high schools, 15 middle schools and 30 elementary schools.

Nevada currently ranks 50th in both education and students dropping out of school. The Project 50/50 is an effort to rally 50,000 citizens around 50,000 students in need of motivation, college prep assistance and teacher motivation.

A Student Success Initiative has been constructed to inspire elementary and middle school students, support teachers, prepare high school students for college entrance and re-engage more parents. Two years of research has shaped the five support programs that will be offered at schools spanning each corner of the Las Vegas valley:

• Boulder City • Henderson • Las Vegas • North Las Vegas • Summerlin

The JYD Project is attempting to raise more than $2.5 Million Dollars to fund this ground-breaking, five year effort to save Nevada billions in support services that student dropouts will cost the state.

JYD PROJECT WORKING IN THE COMMUNITY

unity in the community

By Paul Bosman

On Saturday, April 17, 2010, Jerome “Junk Yard Dog” Williams teamed up with Zion United Methodist Church to sponsor a neighborhood cleanup event in North Las Vegas. Zion United Methodist Church is located at 2108 N. Revere Street, near Lake Mead Blvd. This event was aimed at promoting a sense of goodwill and cooperation in this transitional urban setting.

Jerome Williams and

18

the JYD Project have done outstanding work in the Las Vegas Valley with community programs directed toward youth from all walks of life. But from personal experience with Jerome, I know that his dedication to the community stems from his personal commitment to his faith in Jesus Christ. It is the foundation upon which he has built his personal success and accomplishments within each community where he has lived.

The Bible says in Titus 2:6-7: “...encourage the young men to be self-controlled.

In everything set them an example by doing what is good.

In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned…”

Jerome Williams has lived his life according to these values and continues to do so with every opportunity to reach out.

Automotive Street Style | January 2011 | JYD Project: Charity Edition

Zion United Methodist Church is a beacon of the Christian faith in North Las Vegas.

Teaming up with a faithful servant like Jerome, Zion is striving to make a positive impact in the local community. The cleanup event in April is part Zion’s continued effort to bring the community together.

JYD PROJECT: Student Success Initiative

JYD PROJECT: THE STUDENT SUCCESS INITIATIVE

T

he 2011 school year will kick off with a rather tall student embarking upon 50 Clark County campuses to challenge students to step up and take the 50/50 Challenge.

Targeting 50,000 caring adults willing to sacrifice five dollars from five paychecks to fund a 50-school/50,000student motivation tour; the 50/50 Challenge is hosted by the Williams brothers—Jerome and Johnnie—founders of the JYD Project.

Even while political figures, school board members and parents

work to implement much-needed solutions, more than 122 students drop out of Nevada schools each day. Of those that remain, a solid 50 percent qualify for

and motivation, the Williams brothers have spoken to more than 1.3 million students collectively.

The Williams brothers refuse to just sit back and lament the fact that Las Vegas is tabbed “the nation’s dumbest city”.

To participate, simply donate $25 (or $5/per paycheck from five checks), as well as challenge five friends and five co-workers to do the same. The goal is to raise Nevada’s number 50 ranking among American states in both education and student graduation.

Henderson International Reading Week

he JYD project’s Jerome “Junk Yard Dog” Williams has been involved in the NBA’s Read to Achieve program since 1997, when he played for the Detroit Pistons. Mr. Williams has always encouraged youth to develop a passion to read. After playing nine years in the NBA with Detroit, Chicago, Toronto & New York, JYD continues to keep his reading campaign alive.

This month he visited Henderson International School’s 2nd Grade to show how the DoggPound loves to READ! “ The

22

books you read, give you the knowledge you need, so join the reading team, and get in the league, if you believe than you can achieve, sometimes you need to pick up a book and read” said JYD. “We wish to thank you for your wonderful gift of

time, that it took to read, gift of joy, because you brought us happiness!!!

And, last, but never least, you made reading an event to remember, a moment to cherish, and gave us a tune to live by!”

- Ms. Whited’s Class

“Dear Mr. Williams, Thank you for reading to us and singing the rap song I loved it” - Elizabeth (2nd Grader)

The Mary and Sam Boyd Boyd Club building renovation includes a new teen center complete with a lounge area and computer workstations, a learning/study center, a gameroom with a kitchen and eating area, and an outdoor sports area adjacent to the Wells Park Recreation Area.

JYD PROJECT: Findlay PREP WELCOMES JYD

Findlay Prep’s Global Citizenship Class Written By Todd Simon, Associate Head Coach, Findlay Pilot Basketball

T

he 2010-2011 school year is in full swing, which means another season of Findlay basketball is around the corner. Coming off their second consecutive ESPN Rise National High School Invitational Championship, the potential for the 2011 Findlay Pilots is strong for another run at the national crown. In three seasons under Coach Michael Peck, the program has a 97-3 record.

Equaling Findlay’s success on the court, the program produces a 100% graduation rate, NCAA qualified 100% of the student athletes, and every single Findlay graduate has gone on to play NCAA Division 1 on scholarship.

This year, Jerome Williams is contributing to the educational experience as Findlay’s

26

director of player development. In addition to helping daily practices, JYD has taken on a weekly role as part of the Global Citizenship class, sharing his experiences and knowledge. This is wholly in keeping with the JYD Project’s educational program, which focuses on preparation for an ethical civic life.

One of the core tenets of the JYD Project is imparting responsibility for themselves and the world around them to young adults.

The JYD Project’s life skills series equips students with the skills necessary to navigate their educational experiences, make a positive community impression with good life choices, and live purposeful lives. JYD covers a wide range of topics including choices and

consequences, first impressions, education and networking, financial responsibility, leadership, and life after the game.

Great things are happening as the Findlay program and the JYD Project continues to invest in our next generation.

JYD PROJECT: TRIP TO ISREAL

Written by Todd Warnick

W

hile touring Israel, the former NBA players took a break from their busy schedule to conduct a “Basketball Boot Camp” clinic for 200 basketball players in Jerusalem from ages 9-15. Jerome “Junkyard Dog “ Williams, Allan Houston, Anthony “A.B.” Bonner, David Wood, Paul Grant, and Choo Smith, a former Harlem Globetrotter conducted the clinic.

The pros put the young players through a series of defensive drills and demonstrated offensive fundamentals.

“JYD” energized the players from the start with group cheers and lots of pushups.

Former New York Knick, Allan”H20” Houston, demonstrated the shooting fundamentals that made him one of the league’s all-time great scorers.

28

The young players then split into groups to hone their newly learned skills, including the pick and roll.

“A.B” didn’t let the kids rest for a minute, enthusiastically emphasizing defensive strategy and good foot movement.

Junkyard Dog made sure energy levels stayed high during the clinic, as he did throughout his entire NBA career. Houston said, “JYD’s Boot Camp style was very exciting to be part of. The kids loved it”. After “Boot Camp”, the players and kids connected for some one on one time that included autographs, handshakes and plenty of smiles all around.

The players were in Israel for several days, touring and studying history from ancient to modern times. They visited Jewish,

Christian, and Muslim sites under the auspices of SportsPower International, an organization founded by former Boston Celtic chaplain Bill Alexson..

SportsPower International is dedicated to using basketball worldwide to bring young people together to build character and instill positive values into their lives. Chris Wallace, general manager of the Memphis Grizzlies—a frequent visitor to Israel—is also an integral part of the group.

While in Israel, the group played basketball with an inspired group of young immigrants from Ethiopia, conducted a clinic for 600 young people in Tel Aviv, and played an exhibition game against an Israeli professional team, B’nei Hasharon.
