Sociedad Latina - Civic Engagement - 0 views

  •  
    Civic engagement bonds youth to their communities, inviting them to participate in the power structures and decision-making processes that influence their daily lives. At Sociedad Latina we value and respect youth intelligence, passion, and leadership abilities. We work to combat the trend of disempowered, disengaged youth by creating space in our community for young people to effect meaningful change.
  •  
    Civic Engagement is infused in all youth development programming at Sociedad Latina, as we train all youth to advocate for themselves and their communities. Youth learn the importance of civic engagement, and receive the tools and space they need to be active citizens while at Sociedad Latina.

Digital Media and Learning: Democratic Futures 2013 - 0 views

  •  
    There has been a longstanding narrative of youth political apathy and disengagement from democratic life. However, this perception is now giving way to a richer account, one that seeks to illuminate the dynamic ways in which young people are redefining expressions of "citizenship," "political engagement," and "democracy." As the currents of social, political, financial, and global change intensify, what is the future of participatory democracy, youth activism, and civic and political education? How are the practices and forms of participatory democracy evolving in the age of social, digital, and mobile media?  And what do these transformational practices reveal about democratic futures?

Brockton After Dark - 0 views

  •  
    Mayor Linda M. Balzotti announces that the Brockton After Dark summer program will start on July 2nd. Various activities will take place over the course of the summer at different locations throughout the city until August 24th. "Brockton After Dark accomplishes more than just keeping youth busy," said Mayor Balzotti. "The wide range of activities offered enables young people to take part not only in athletics, but also social and leadership development activities, learning skills that will stay with them for many years to come." Now in its ninth year, Brockton After Dark provides athletic and enrichment opportunities to youth, ages 13-20, at no cost, weeknights during the summer. Brockton After Dark will not be held Wednesday, July 4th. Various activities include basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, hip hop dancing, and art classes, as well as several other programs, which can be found on the City of Brockton's web site. Food will be provided at most sites. This is a great program to get these youth off the streets. I think many cites need to look into this and see if there city has funds for these programs.

    This is nice Gwen! This program goes hand in hand with your community project! I also agree that if we had these type of programs available to our youth in more towns and cities, many lives would be changed for the better!

It sounds like a great program. I just hope that the most vulnerable youth will attend. That's not always the case.
