What Young People Want
This summer, organizers from the Youth Action Research Group used participatory action research to gather feedback from young people on how they are treated in youth programs, schools and public spaces – and how they'd like to be treated. The team will present its findings and analysis, followed by an opportunity for questions, on Friday, Aug. 8, from 7 to 8 p.m., at La Casa, 3166 Mt. Pleasant St. NW.
After the discussion, stay for a party to celebrate the connections and collaborations formed this summer, the power of young people, and their commitment to change and challenge the way they are seen and targeted in their communities. Refreshments will be served. For more information, call 202/462-5767.
