The Urban Youth Racing School in Philadelphia is changing lives by using STEM education and motorsports to prevent crime. ???? ? This program helps inner-city students, many of whom come from high-crime areas or have been involved with the criminal justice system, to see a new path forward. When they enter the program, many are unfamiliar with NASCAR or motorsports. By the time they leave, they not only have a new set of skills but often find careers within the industry—transforming their lives in the process. ? The school provides much more than technical knowledge about racing. It offers hope, mentorship, and career opportunities that help students build a brighter future, far from the dangers of crime. It’s proof that with the right support, young people can break the cycle and build a successful and fulfilling life. ? McGruff the Crime Dog looks forward to playing a bigger role in supporting this amazing initiative. Together, we can help inspire even more young people to Take A Bite out of Crime and race toward a better future. ? Let’s continue to support innovative programs like The Urban Youth Racing School that are taking a proactive approach to crime prevention. ???? Together, we can guide these young drivers toward success!

Urban Youth Racing School is taking early career prep to a whole new level. The org is focused on getting underprivileged kids interested in STEM careers by teaching them about motorsports. The curriculum also teaches kids how to think like an engineer and practice problem-solving skills. “From there I had this idea of doing this diversity program,” Executive Director Anthony Martin of UYRS told Technical.ly, “getting not just kids of color, but kids who were lower income and from the inner city the opportunity to be involved in this multi-billion dollar industry.” Now the program is partnering with local schools, and thinking about expanding to other cities. https://lnkd.in/gp-g4rPA #STEM #YouthProgram #AutoIndustry #CarRacing #Philly
