Networking Dinner is a Success!

On Thursday, November 6, 2006, the Temple Youth VOICES Project hosted a Networking Dinner. Planned and facilitated by the Leaders Corps, the aim of the dinner was to start an ongoing dialogue between groups dedicated to youth empowerment. VOICES’ long term objective is to motivate the creation of a citywide coalition among organizations committed to youth-driven social change and community uplift. During the dinner, representatives from 16 different organizations shared their missions and long-term goals, as well as their ongoing initiatives. There was a synergistic spirit of service learning and grass roots activism that connected individuals and groups together as everyone mingled and made plans to meet again in January. Youth and adults alike expressed excitement and passion for the limitless possibilities that a collaboration of this nature promises.
