Colonel Danny E. Davis from KY Labor Cabinet to Speak on the Importance of Mentoring

Posted on 6 years ago

Corbin, KY. – Col. Davis is the Kentucky Labor Cabinet’s Director of the Education and Training Division and will speak about the power of mentoring on Thursday, December 5 at 5:30 pm at the Depot on Main in Corbin.

Col. Davis has a passion for Eastern Kentucky and will share his personal story of crossing the divide between generational poverty and despair to hope and success. As a disadvantaged child in southeastern Kentucky, his mentor encouraged him to aspire for opportunities, and that relationship set Davis on a course that changed his life.

“The day I departed McCreary County for the Air Force in July 1994 was the day I made a vow to myself that someday I would return and encourage Appalachian youth by exposing them to opportunities that I did not have as a kid,” Col. Davis says.

Business and community leaders are invited to be inspired and equipped with tools and ideas to bring hope to the next generation of eastern Kentuckians.

Tickets are free but required and available online through Eventbrite.com. You can also access tickets on facebook.com/ampforkids or contact AMP directly by calling 606-910-3332 or emailing jennifercooney@ampforkids.org. The Depot on Main is located at 101 N. Main St. in Corbin. Doors open at 5:15 pm. Appetizers and non-alcoholic beverages provided, and additional food and drinks will be available for purchase.

AMP is a faith-based non-profit organization that recruits, trains and equips mentors to help regional kids reach their peak potential. Learn more at ampforkids.org.
