You are invited to a special evening in which youth from the community express in their own words their experience of living in these troubled times.

In Voices of Youth, Voices of Community young people craft the artful expression of their inner dreams and outer concerns. On this night the community gathers to witness, to discuss, and bless the aspirations, struggles, and efforts of its young people.

In this approach, youth are not simply 'the problem,' rather, their lives are a reflection of serious issues troubling the culture at large. When viewed that way, youth can be seen as valuable agents of change who play a necessary part in cultural education, healing, and transformation.

Voices of Youth inspires and empowers local youth, fosters ongoing cross-generational dialogues and leads to the development of unique local forms of mentoring. Amidst changing times and all too-common violence, all are invited to witness the expression of youth and hear the voice of the soul seeking to make community again.

Join Luis Rodriguez,Michael Meade and Orland Bishop and local mentors in this evening that celebrates youth and community.
