From Convicts to Mentors - Knoxville Duo Inspires Youth

Two Knoxville locals, Rashaad Woods and Pastor Jeremy Ruby, are channeling their past incarcerations into positive outreach, aiming to guide young people away from paths that could lead to prison.

After serving a combined total of 20 years, they now dedicate their efforts to promoting safety and success among the youth. As advocates for violence prevention, they actively participate in "Renounce Denounce," a gang intervention and violence prevention initiative in the Knoxville area.

Their work focuses on educating and mentoring young individuals, steering them towards better choices and brighter futures. Find more info on their local Facebook page or main website.
