AND THATS A WRAP! For the end of our Summer Peacemaker program, BRAVE Youth presented to stakeholders and community leaders about the research and findings from their Community Organization tour about youth programming, neighborhood development, and mental health. We are INCREDIBLY PROUD of the work they have done and we hope that their call for investment does not fall on deaf ears!
