My Nonprofit Reviews

A young teen girl of color came with a tote selling items for $9 each. She said this was for Teens of Tomorrow. I asked her to explain what this was about so she then began reading from laminated script as she kept looking back at this van she was traveling with. I saw an "IRS" emblem on her laminated card which made it look legit. She kept looking out for a ride over and over and appeared worried. Another young teen girl of color was 2 houses over. I then seen after I paid $9 a caucasian older man driving slowly up the street with a mercedes van. He looked like he was checking to see their progress. I asked the girl if she was okay and told her this doesn't seem right and if she wasn't okay to let me know. She said she was fine but with reserve as she kept looking back at this mercedes van. Neither this man nor these 2 female teens wore a mask. They then took off in that van. The bag I bought had it's expiration date rubbed off. Altho I was cheated of this money, the entire observation gave me an uncomfortable feeling for these girls. We are in a pandemic! If the people training these teens specific business skills, it should begin with "how to be safe" in the community. Something needs to be looked into about this.
