G-Team Racing has been in the mentoring program for over 5 years, working with El Centro in the Philadelphia area, giving underprivileged, broken home children the benefit of learning a skill to pave their way for career opportunities. Our program gives the student a chance for hands-on experience.
We have three levels - Ground Level is observation (the student observes our technician on an ongoing job, taking notes, etc.); First Level is simple to start (the student is given a small job shadowed by our technician monitoring and assisting if needed); Second Level is the hands-on / work alone (the student is given a job to work on without the assistance of the technician). We encourage questions and always make ourselves available to the student for assistance. The length of time at each level depends on the individual student's ability.
Being underprivileged, they are not able to provide their own tools and uniforms. For our program to continue and to expand to other area schools, we are asking your help in giving these kids the break they so deserve to make their way in society as part of the working force and become a major influence to others in their same situation.
Community service is one of the most important skills kids learn during the mentor-ship program. The city has Gino to thank for the new trees you see along the 2600 block of Belgrade St. G-Team Racing is all about giving back to the community and wants to grow the seeds of service in the youth of the city, which we live in and love.
