Inspiring change from the classroom! GC teacher Kelly Preston's class identified a community issue in 2022 and took action! Their efforts led to the creation of a youth advisory board, empowering young people to make a positive impact. #education #youthleadership #GCteacher
The Adams Street Youth Leadership Council hosted their 2nd Annual Bridging the Gap event to help students and police build meaningful relationships in order to decrease bias and discrimination in downtown Brooklyn. With over 200 attendees and 90% of surveyed participants responding that events like this CAN reduce violence in communities, I think we can say it was a major success!!! If you’d like to bring this initiative to your community, please contact the Adams Street YLC at AdamsStreetYLC@uainstitute.org
