E-commerce solutions, local advertising and niche social networking
company, supports the Home of Life Community Development
Corporation, in an effort to develop job readiness skills for
inner-city Chicago youth.
Home of Life Community Development Corporation,
www.homeoflife.org, has created a training program, sponsored by a
grant from the City of Chicago Department of Family & Support
Services Workforce Investment Act's Youth Ready Chicago Summer Job
Program. This program was developed and spearheaded by Drs. Aaron
& Margaret Jamal of R.A.T.E.S.(TM) Development, to educate
inner-city youth about online marketing while connecting Local
Businesses within their communities. Beyond Commerce's CEO and
Chairman, Robert McNulty, addressed 46 youths at the program's
graduation ceremony on July 30th, at the Home of Life MB Church in
Chicago, Illinois. In early September, Mr. McNulty will return to
Chicago with 30 Local Ad Link independent sales representatives to
mentor these youths with field training, including face-to-face
meetings with businesses in their community.
"The training program has touched the lives of this small group
of inner-city youth. We look forward to working with Bob McNulty
and LocalAdLink to make positive changes in our community," stated
Pastor Johnny Henderson of the Home of Life MB Church.
