Calling on Churches to Help Fill BST and PSR Positions

Empowering 2 Excel, a community-focused organization committed to uplifting the youth and families of North Las Vegas, is excited to announce upcoming hiring events! These events are a great opportunity for those looking to make a meaningful impact by joining our passionate team. We are specifically seeking individuals to fill BST (Basic Skills Training) and PSR (Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services) positions. If you’re ready to serve the community and help families grow stronger, this could be the perfect role for you!

Join Our Mission to Make a Difference

At Empowering 2 Excel, we believe that real change starts from the grassroots level, and we need dedicated individuals who are willing to be on the front lines of this mission. BST and PSR Services are at the heart of what we do—helping children and families develop essential life skills, build resilience, and reach their fullest potential. These roles are more than just jobs; they are opportunities to mentor, inspire, and transform lives.

We are reaching out to our local churches, inviting congregations to get involved in this critical mission. We know that churches are often filled with people who have a genuine heart for service, and that makes them a great source of potential candidates who align with our values and purpose. Together, we can uplift our community and nurture positive growth for future generations.

Why Churches Are Vital to This Cause

Churches have always played a pivotal role in community development and support. They bring together people with shared values of love, compassion, and service. By partnering with us and spreading the word about our upcoming hiring events, church leaders can help bridge the gap between individuals seeking purpose-filled careers and the children and families who need support.

We are calling on pastors, church leaders, and members to consider who in your community may be a good fit for these roles. Do you know someone who has a passion for working with youth or supporting families through times of difficulty? Empowering 2 Excel provides the training necessary to make a difference, and we are committed to helping our new team members grow alongside the communities they serve.

In today’s complex world, where family structures, educational challenges, and social pressures can impact individual development and community wellness, organizations like Empowering 2 Excel step in as beacons of hope and resilience. Through Basic and Behavioral Skills Training (BST) and Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) services, Empowering 2 Excel provides essential mentoring services designed to address critical social issues and create supportive, stable environments for youth and families. By equipping individuals with life skills, emotional resilience, and academic support, these programs are empowering communities one person at a time.

With a vision to expand its impact, Empowering 2 Excel is also actively seeking dedicated mentors to help extend these services to even more individuals in need, creating a ripple effect that promotes lasting positive change.

Mentorship lies at the heart of Empowering 2 Excel’s BST and PSR services. Mentors provide consistent, compassionate support that helps participants feel valued, heard, and guided. In addition to offering practical advice and emotional encouragement, mentors serve as role models, embodying the qualities of responsibility, empathy, and perseverance that Empowering 2 Excel seeks to instill in each participant.

The impact of mentorship is evident in several areas:

• Emotional and Mental Health: Mentors are trained to recognize signs of emotional distress and provide constructive coping strategies. This consistent support fosters a sense of security and stability, which can be life-changing for young people facing challenges in their home or social environments.
• Academic Success: For many young participants, having a mentor means having someone who encourages them to stay committed to their education. Mentors can help youth set academic goals, stay motivated, and develop effective study habits. This support contributes to better educational outcomes, empowering students to envision a brighter future for themselves.
• Social Skills and Conflict Resolution: Many youth lack the social skills needed to build healthy relationships or resolve conflicts peacefully. Through role-playing, guided discussions, and positive reinforcement, mentors help participants develop the skills they need to build supportive friendships, resolve misunderstandings, and navigate social dynamics confidently.
• Community Engagement and Personal Responsibility: Empowering 2 Excel’s mentorship programs encourage participants to take an active role in their communities, promoting a sense of responsibility and service. By learning to give back, participants develop a stronger connection to their surroundings and feel inspired to make positive contributions, creating a ripple effect that strengthens the entire community.

Why BST and PSR Services Matter

The challenges facing youth today are numerous, from social pressures and mental health issues to educational hurdles and economic uncertainties. Programs like BST and PSR serve as lifelines, providing the guidance, stability, and support that young people need to navigate these challenges successfully. These services also help prevent future issues by instilling positive habits and coping strategies that participants can carry with them into adulthood.

The Broader Impact on Society

By addressing the needs of youth through BST and PSR services, Empowering 2 Excel not only helps individual participants but also benefits society as a whole. Each individual who learns to manage their emotions, communicate effectively, and make constructive decisions contributes to a more stable, prosperous community. Reduced crime rates, improved educational outcomes, and increased community involvement are just a few of the societal benefits that come from investing in today’s youth.

As more participants gain these skills, they are empowered to become responsible, proactive members of society, equipped to handle personal and professional challenges effectively. This empowerment has a cumulative effect, as participants who succeed often inspire their peers and family members to pursue similar paths, spreading the impact even further.

Nevada Partners is taking proactive steps to support minority-owned businesses through a variety of programs aimed at providing the resources, mentorship, and financial backing needed to succeed.

This initiative is closely aligned with Empowering 2 Excel’s mission to create pathways for economic empowerment within minority communities. By collaborating with Nevada Partners, we can help ensure that minority entrepreneurs have the tools and support they need to build successful, sustainable businesses.

Football, the ultimate unifier on the field is proving to be the same off of it. Lorenzo ‘Chuck’ Reed’s impact is felt in his hometown in Shreveport and this week, in Las Vegas. That’s where the Cowboys fan, made a new friend in NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell.

“I said, Roger, can I slip you a little something, so we can get here next year,” says Reed. “It was great meeting Roger. That was my first time.”

Why the Class of 1988 C.E. Byrd High School alum and the league’s top boss met, is special.

“I have a program named, ‘Powering to Excel.’ It’s a rehabilitation and mentoring program so we work with mostly mentally disturbed kids and severely mentally ill adults. Underneath my umbrella is ‘Excel Cleaning’ and ‘Rosie’s Wish.’

‘Excel Cleaning’ enables youth that are deemed ‘trouble’, by others, to have a job with Reed’s business. But, what’s ‘Rosie’s Wish?’

“That came up because my mom passed away from diabetes, and my son Lorenzo, Jr., struggles with Type One diabetes,” says Reed. “10-15 kids in my program have diabetes and we work with them on how to properly take their numbers.”

The former Shreveport Pirates football star also helps those that are less fortunate.

“We fundraise or raise money for those families that can’t afford diabetic materials,” Reed says. “I’ve been lucky enough to fundraise to come up with one insulin pump a year, which is like $10,000. I’m able to send a couple of kids to Camp Buck in Utah, which is a diabetic camp.”

Rosie may no long be with us physically. But, Lorenzo Reed is making sure her wish is being granted.

“It’s all from up above,” says Reed. “That’s where I get my vision from. My mom was one of those people who always gives to anyone. Anyone that knows Chuck Reed that’s in Shreveport, they know that Rosie Jane, my mom, was that type of person.”
