Extended Bio Profile:
Ms. Baines has a passion for helping young people who are suffering because of society's inability to provide positive atmospheres for them to come together and associate. She would like to show young people that together they can turn the cycle in the positive direction. She wants to prevent them from being pushed to the streets and into environments that are not conductive to providing a healthy, safe and wholesome place to come together with their peers. She also works for the Brooklyn Supreme Court and teaches at Bethel Bible Institute. There are only limited positive youth centers where activities can be geared to a future outside of prison walls. She envisions a place that is clean, well supervised and offers services that will provide after-school help, career motivation that builds an environment that will keep young people off the street. She imagines an indoor gym for basketball, swimming pools, computer training and more. She sees this as a place of restoration for a generation that is being pushed to the side and labeled useless.
