Kyle police officer speaks at Gary Job Corps violence-prevention program

Kyle Police Officer Dago Pates recently participated in the Gary Job Corps Youth 2 Youth: Partners 4 Peace, also known as “Y2Y”. This initiative was created and is led by Job Corps students nationwide.

Pates, a graduate of Gary Job Corps, was one of several speakers who took part in this violence-prevention program. Student leaders pledged to support Y2Y by speaking out to address violence, aggression and bullying at the Gary Job Corps center and in local communities.

During a town hall style meeting on Sept. 14, guest speakers like Pates shared their personal experiences with students. It was all part of a week-long event featuring motivational activities and events.
