  • S3 Ep3: Path 2 Redemption with Lester Young

    Today we're talking to Lester Young, founder of Path2Redemption. Path2Redemption offers assistance to those formerly incarcerated, at-risk youth, the homeless population, and anyone in need of resources and/or knowledge of receiving information providing outlets to assist with receiving resources. We also briefly talk about business and the books we're reading right now. 

    Lester Young Jr. is a native of Hilton Head Island, SC. At the age of 19, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole until 20 years had been served. Entering prison without the proper education was Lester's biggest struggle. With the support of family and friends, he was able to obtain his G.E.D. then later enroll in a Business Management Course (via mail) as a student of Ashworth College.

    Lester began drawing attention from prison chaplains, correctional officers, as well as wardens for the interest he expressed in NOT only educating himself but encouraging others to educate themselves as well. With permission for the warden, He began meeting with Chaplain to create templates, course outlines, programs, and classes to instruct and mentor those incarcerated along side him. This is where the idea of "Path2Redemption" was born. He vowed that once he was paroled, he would continue his teachings to motivate others to continue on their own path to redemption.

    And One year after his release, He started "Path2Redemption".
