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.
