NBC News NOW

In Philadelphia, where gun violence has been rampant, one program is giving at-risk teens a different path through power tools, car engines and mentorship. NBC News’ Marquise Francis reports on the program that gathers high schoolers three nights a week, not just to learn carpentry and automotive skills, but to heal with therapy and guidance to show them a world beyond the streets.
