Youth Voices and Verses for Violence Prevention: Lessons in the Cycle

In honor of National Youth Violence Prevention Awareness Week in April 2017, UYTC hosted an event with the purpose of encouraging members of the community to celebrate the important role of the arts in sustaining and supporting positive youth development. The event provided a unique opportunity to see the premiere of videos showcasing the poetry written by the youth of Free Write Arts & Literacy. The artwork created by the youth of Project FIRE was also displayed during this event and the video entitled My City 2  by Project Fire member Dantrell Blake was showcased.
