WHY VELOCITY?

With the economic downturn, the family unit has experienced increased levels of stress , leading to a change in home life dynamics. The economic pressures not only have lead to changes in the budgets of american households but have inevitably caused family conflict, increased rate of marital separations and or divorces as well as forcing both parents to be employed in order to meet basic family needs.

These series of stressors have left parents and youth in a vulnerable position, as young kids are spending more time alone, seeking for a place to pass time or simply not being able to plug-in with their parents as they did once before.


At the same time parents, are seeking ways in which their kids can be engaged while mantaining their family budget and the wellbeing of their youths. Conversely, there is the significant number of recent college graduates, unable to obtain employment which has led to increased levels of diminished morale coupled by the fact that they are unable to use their newly acquired knowledge and skills in the market place.


***This is a concern that Velocity Fl. Inc, will to address in order to relieve tensions in the community, prevent youth crime while providing support to the family unit efforts by empowering youth and young professionals.***
