CJ Carter, a master barber and the executive director of Sharp Futures Foundation, is spearheading an exciting new project aimed at empowering students in Louisville's West End School. This innovative barbershop initiative is designed not only to provide a valuable skill set for students but also to foster a sense of community and self-worth among the youth.
The barbershop will serve as a hands-on learning environment where students can gain practical experience in barbering, customer service, and entrepreneurship. By engaging students in this unique educational opportunity, the program aims to instill confidence and promote professional development.
Carter emphasizes the importance of mentorship and support in guiding the next generation of barbers and community leaders. The initiative is expected to create a positive impact, helping students build essential life skills while also enhancing their career prospects. The barbershop will not only be a place for grooming but also a hub of inspiration and growth for the young minds of Louisville.
