Rights of Passage: Building Future Leaders. An end of the year celebration honoring Youth Together’s graduating seniors happening May 21st at the Humanist Hall in Oakland.
Youth Together believes that Quality Education is a Basic Human Right that determines individual and community well-being. We will participate in teach-ins and mobilizations in the SF East Bat that seek the preservation of this right.
The Department of Education recognizes that community engagement and involvement is a critical component in driving turnarounds for a successful effort. Please join us for a visit from U.S. Department of Education. We’ll listen to Director of Community Outreach Alberto Retana to learn about Title I SIG (School Improvement Grant) funds, the four intervention models for turning schools around, and discuss ways to drive reform locally.
Youth Together is proud to announce Shawn Ginwright as a panelist following the film screening of Greensboro: Closer to the Truth. The author, professor, activist, and founder of Oakland based non-profit, Leadership Excellence, will be on hand to discuss his methods of healing and restorative justice with urban youth. Come join us to view a moving documentary as well as hear and dialogue with amazing community activists restoring hope and justice in our communities.
The community will come out Tuesday, November 3, 2009, 3:30p.m.–5:30p.m. to heal and support each other with a candlelight vigil at Richmond High.
This will be a great day where we can welcome our new Richmond Site Organizer. We will also be celebrating June and Summer Birthdays and giving our goodbyes to those leaving us.
