CMC Youth Focus: Letting the youth speak for themselves
Submitted by saraneppl on Thu, 10/01/2009 - 10:19am
As we're talking with youth and working with Puget Sound Off during the 2009 Community Matters Campaign, one thing we're hearing is that youth violence is a big issue for them.
In a recent blog post at Puget Sound Off, a young person expresses confusion that no one seems to be paying attention to the issue. "I hear how there are concerns but when a event is thrown for our Youth there is no one present to show their concern. Why is this?" This person was out marching for friends who have experienced violence, and was met with rows empty chairs. Read the whole blog here.
Stay tuned (and save the date!) for more information about an upcoming program CityClub is doing with The Seattle Channel on this topic: "Seattle Speaks: Youth Violence" coming on Tuesday, November 10.
As education is a focus of CMC this year, we also wanted to share another great video put together by youth technology interns at the YMCA of Greater Seattle.
