Youth-SPEAK

Too often, youth are viewed as liabilities rather than the assets they are.
Youth-Speak is focusing on how kids make a difference for themselves and others,
every day.

By Youth for Youth

We are collecting stories of youth capability to feature in the online project: Youth-SPEAK The collection of video and written word entries will focus on the positive contributions that youth make all the time. From the mundane to the extraordinary, we are listening and recording what youth have to say. We've already heard amazing and moving words from these young members of our community. More details to come including a contest for the most viewed youthSPEAK video upload. Go to the Youth-SPEAK website to learn more!

Youth-SPEAK FILMING HAS BEGUN!

    

We've visited with an array of talented and articulate youth here at Youth-Nex. We've also gone on location spoke with kids from the Music Resource Center, U.Va.'s Upward Bound, I Have A Dream Foundation. We'd also like to give a shout out to youth from Sutherland Middle School and others in the community for their valuable participation.
