BRIGHTER FUTURES Bright Side Brighter Futures Our Brighter Futures program caters to our youth and young adults. Bright Side Youth are empowered via paid apprenticeship and educational support for a brighter future. This is phase three part of our lifelong journey in providing skills and a support system at each point in a person’s life. As our association has grown over the years, so have our children. We now hope this phase provides educational support and offers a 3-6 month paid apprenticeship teaching and strengthening the skill sets and guided mentorship to them. During COVID-19, we were able to focus on the program specifically at Taoyuan MuHsiang Children’s Home as it supported smaller class sizes and we were able to combined plant-based meal sessions to those in orphanages by having the kids create the meals themselves for those who were interested in culinary as a future career. This resulted in having a certified chef, Eric Wu, come to share his experiences with our kids at Taoyuan. Several other mini workshops were also hosted that half focused on resume polishing, interview skills, and meal creations in which all youth were able to help make.
