We are empowered youth...

... that care about our community.  With every tree we plant, young person we educate on smoking and crime we prevent by helping other youth, we are saving lives and truly improving the community.” 
-Codrington Barzey

We work to make change...

...in our community. We have a voice and want it heard. Youth working with adults and the community working together is necessary to improve our neighborhoods. Together we can make positive policy changes locally and beyond.”   -Alexis Claytor
