🎨 This summer, our Digital Visionaries program led an inspiring DIY Button Making: Pronoun Pride Pin Workshop for all programs at Gallery 37. The workshop was a vibrant celebration of identity and creativity, allowing teens to express their pride and support through personalized pronoun pins. A special shoutout to ASM's Downtown Senior Program Specialist Micaela Felix for spearheading this initiative and fostering an environment of inclusion and awareness. The workshop was a fantastic opportunity for all teens to celebrate their individuality and stand together in support of one another. At ASM, we believe that all are welcome! #teensMATTER

👩🏫 This summer, the Deaf & Hard of Hearing Leadership Club interns @ Brighton Park guided and facilitated activities for Deaf youth, helping them hone and sharpen their performance and communication skills. ASM teen Frida Grace shares, “I really enjoy being around Deaf and hard-of-hearing kids especially because I’m mainstreamed with hearing students every school year. I enjoy being a role model for the kids." These junior counselors are mentoring minds and molding futures. Learning from the best! 🌟#teensMATTER
