Community Empowerment
Currently, we are in the process of planning various educational events to empower parents and youth in our community to leave free, healthy lives. As this component of who we are grows, we hope to educate individuals in our community in areas of media culture, the commoditization of urban youth, the criminalization of urban youth, parenting skills, educational achievement, and more. By providing people in our community with the resources and space to have conversations with each other on these issues, people are empowered to make a difference in their own community. By working together, we can work for a more just society.
In addition to this, we continue to create leadership development in opportunities in our community. It is vitally important to us that parents and youth in our community feel ownership in Aliquippa Impact. Ideally, we hope that someday our youth will rise to lead our organization into the future.
