Many young men fall into gangs because they are looking for a community, opportunity, and/or status, and they can’t or don’t know how to find it any other way. But, four teens from Georgia were determined not to fall into that lifestyle.
The young men walked into Zsa Zsa Heard’s office at the LaGrange Housing Authority in Georgia on July 27 and asked if they could apply for a job. They told their story about how a job could help keep them out of trouble and avoid gangs.

Heard was so moved that she hired them on the spot and posting on Facebook that “the streets will not have our children.”
The teens all living in the housing authority and since being hired have been working the community garden, passing out mail, and tending to the chicken coup, reported Fox 5 News.
