DETERMINATION

Drive or fly above the silencers of your mission

Each and every time, they doubt you

Take challenges that will keep you at your best

Emerge stronger from any failures

Reach out to the nay-sayer and help them

Making a difference in everyone’s journeys

Initiative successful steps

Never remain at the same step

Always keep moving forward

The road is free and clear for you

In the end show all the best of you in all you do

Overcome your past trauma, and

Never cease to be simply YOU.

Background

Take Trips MES (Mentally, Emotionally, and Spiritually), based in Ossining, NY, was established in 2019 to bring awareness to the aftercare struggles of incarcerated youth of color. This population is not receiving real opportunities to excel when they are released from the incarceration system; Take Trips MES wants to change this. We want our youth to be equipped with tools that will allow them to make better decisions, and do the required work to be productive citizens. Our organization is designed to decrease the recidivism rate and increase the productivity rate.
