Real Talk

 Findlay Automotive supports Real Talk Youth Impact Program 

  

Real Talk is a Southern Nevada nonprofit
dedicated to helping at-risk youth in the community. Founder Sheree Corniel has
more than 20 years in law enforcement. In that time, Corniel became intimately
familiar with the penal system and the recidivism rate of children and adults who
go through it. Corniel was inspired to create Real Talk, which aims to keep
children from ever entering “the system” by showing them there are positive
options. Real Talk has been the real deal for over ten years and has influenced
over 2,043 kids. In addition, Real Talk has provided athletic sponsorships for
youth resulting in $216,000 worth of scholarships. Corniel said her motto is,
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." The
power and influence of giving individual attention is Real Talk’s goal and
mission. 

  

The Findlay Automotive Group is pleased to
partner with Real Talk and support the mission. Tyler Corder, CFO of Findlay,
said, "We're proud to support Real Talk Youth Impact Program. Their
program gives hope and opportunities to disadvantaged youth in our community.
Without Real Talk, many of these young people would not have any positive
influences in their lives. The goal is to give these kids opportunities for
success and help them avoid the criminal justice system. Real Talk is a vital
community asset to help kids who otherwise would have little opportunity for
success in life." 

  

Corniel is grateful for the opportunity to
work with Corder and the Findlay Automotive Group. She said, "The
donations from Findlay mean there is still hope. Having hope has led our
organization to continue striving to serve more youth in our community. With
Findlay's ongoing support, it helps us serve more youth and provide them with
an opportunity for positive change. I believe that without opportunity, there
is no change." 

  

With programs such as parent support groups,
monthly volunteer speakers, and multiple community resources, Real Talk always
seeks the community to be involved and help. Findlay believes in Real Talk's
mission and is grateful to be part of helping at-risk youth in the community.
Corniel said, "The donation from Findlay will help us continue to operate
without interruption and assist us with preparing for our tenth anniversary.
Our goal is to continue to educate the community about our program and have
citizens get involved with our organization to assist with creating responsible
citizens and future leaders of tomorrow."  

  

Real Talk is always looking for the community
to get involved. Corniel said, "The community can help by spreading the
word… We have a need for more ex-felons as speakers in our program and guest
speakers who have never been in the criminal justice system to share their stories
of success in their careers. In addition, financial support is always needed to
sponsor a youth's extracurricular activities." 

  

Findlay is grateful to people like Sheree
Corniel that want to leave the world better than they found it. The mission of
Real Talk and the desire to help our community is admirable, and Findlay is
thankful to be a partner in their efforts.
