On Saturday, May 9, 2009 the Temple Youth VOICES Project held its FINAL SHOWCASE for 2008-2009! UCCP staff, Leaders Corps members, participants, parents and friends gathered in Temple University’s Student Center to celebrate the hard work done this year by our youth.
The powerful youth-driven social change campaigns included topics such as:
- Teen Neglect
- Youth Violence Reduction
- Youth Representation in the Media
- Youth Voices in the 2009 Budget Process
- Homelessness
- Prejudice
We also highlighted the great work being done at the Penrose Recreation Center by youth from the surrounding community as well as our monthly Teen Health Cafés facilitated by THE NET.
Our participants committed 2 afternoons per week for 20 weeks and invested almost 100 hours into making a difference in their communities!
