Teens Rise Up - TRU

Just got an email from a young woman who came to Teens Rise Up 4 years ago. She is now studying at Howard University. She shared how she was quite hesitant at first to sign up, but that it ended up being a very important experience for her and that she has taken her learnings from that time into her university studies. It is always heartening to get an email like that.

Although TRU will not happen this summer, come join us for an online experience:
Centering Their Voices: Youth Speak Out on the Impacts of Pandemic

I am inviting a limited number of youth who would like to meet from August 10-12th on-line for 90 minutes to speak about their experiences and get to know each other. We want to hear how you are getting on during the pandemic in terms of your health, family, relationships, on-line school, and other meaningful experiences. We also want to hear your voices in regard to issues of social justice, race and protest.
Youth will then present their perspectives to the public on August 13th in a 2-hour session where educators, practitioners, parents and friends can hear you. This event will provide continuing ed. credit for teachers and counselors. We look forward to learning and gaining more insight directly from student voices to support community and create a more compassionate world. Our hope is that the forum will help to support our youth when they transition back to school.

If you are between the ages of 14-19 and would like to participate, please write to me at [email protected]
