Mission Statement

The mission of the PERICO Institute for Youth Development and Entrepreneurship (PRIYDE) is to provide youth development, training and technical assistance in financial literacy (asset development), prevention and intervention, resiliency skills, character development and life skills, certain apprentice skills, entrepreneurship, college readiness skills and work force development and advocacy to low to moderate income youth

Description

The PERICO Institute for Youth Development and Entrepreneurship uses a Renssarlerville Institute (TRI) model that emphasizes outcomes, targets, and milestones.

PRIYDE's outcome-based programs work with youth to become aware of their environment, their purpose in life, and how to exercise that purpose within their given environment to shape and build upon life altering experiences. Youth will learn an occupational trade while learning theoretical approaches to their work, examine daily activities in work ethics, then determine how best to use what they have learned (whether it is business, marketing, journalism, financial literacy, civic activism, etc.) to get what they (youth) want out of life. The core expertise is in the training and development of young people who are interested in business or selected careers.
