It’s a crime reduction program that gives teens something to do during the summer.

But it’s more than that, a local business owner, Tony Jordan is offering anyone at the event free training to become an HVAC technician.

“If they can get introduced into a trade, they’ll find something they want to do that they can enjoy and they can support their family,” Jordan said.
