Russell Westbrook helps launch a new tech program for the youth and sparks all kinds of opinions. The Shade Room has more details on this situation.
TSR writes that there are a lot of famous athletes who have been showing support to the youth in many different ways.
Russell is the latest one who decided to use his platform to support the youth.
TSR cites TMZ which reported that ‘Russell’s ‘Why Not? Foundation’ recently partnered with Chad Brownstein and the LA Conservation Corps to launch the Westbrook/Brownstein Green Tech Program to help “at-risk young adults,” in the Los Angeles area learn digital field skills that can help lead to job opportunities in the tech field.’
Students will be learning coding skills, and also computer engineering.
Besides this, it was also launched an ‘advanced drone piloting career path program.’
Russell addressed this initiative and said the following: ‘As a kid who grew up here in LA, I know how important it is to feel supported and empowered by the community. By helping to provide these resources, I hope that the youth will be able to see how bright their future can be.’
