The nonprofit organization 22 Hands Up hosted a tour of Northwest Louisiana Technical Community College (NLTCC) on June 2, offering middle and high school students a closer look at the college’s available programs.
Participants were introduced to courses in industrial instrumentation, electrical technology, practical nursing, and welding. Students had the opportunity to speak with instructors and administrators about curriculum, tuition costs, and program expectations.
Following the tour, attendees enjoyed a meal and fellowship.
22 Hands Up aims to foster a commitment to all young people that promotes prosocial behavior, strong interpersonal skills, and a sense of hope for their future. The organization focuses on building personal relationships that encourage responsibility and support youth as they transition into adulthood with pride and accomplishment.
The nonprofit was developed in response to the increasing number of young people struggling in school or entangled in the juvenile court system. It identifies youth in need of support and provides positive reinforcement to help them avoid pitfalls and make constructive life choices.
