YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – A group of local students had the chance to attend the Travis Manion Foundation’s (TMF) Back to School Success Workshop Saturday.

The workshop, which was in collaboration with the Lab Training Center, took place at the center from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

The nationwide foundation takes a holistic approach to teach the youth how to succeed in the classroom and in their everyday lives.

The event started with Dale Dumo, event lead, and his team of coaches sharing personal experiences and why they take the time to volunteer for the foundation. It also included how to attain “S.M.A.R.T,” specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-based, goals.

Dumo was clear in his team’s different approach to an event of the type.

“We’re not your typical back to school [event] – just give out handouts,” Dumo said. “We’re here to help you in your psychology and the behavioral aspect, talk about character, purpose, life skills [and] tools [and] leadership development.”
