For years Wendell Scott he never thought of youth as being at risk. He never looked at anyone as being other than a human being. He would provide them a landing spot or safe zone. for those that needed and alternative than just hanging out on the streets. He would spend hours teaching them about how to work on cars. A lot of his crew members where young men that were having problems at home, Wendell began a mentorship program long before it was defined by society. His family is dedicated to keep that legacy alive.
