Please join us this Wednesday night to discuss plans for the NBTEE’s next local event, “A Harlem TEEN Hall Meeting”. This event is scheduled to be held on December 12th, at The Harlem 4 Center For Change, on 133rd Street and Marcus Garvey Boulevard.
Presented by The National Black TEEN Empowerment Expo and several other community and youth organizations, the goal of the Harlem TEEN Hall Meeting is to establish a dialogue for and with our TEENS about what they feel they need to believe and succeed, and how we can help them to overcome the all-too-many risk factors they face daily.
Beyond discussion, we also hope to deliver various resources (people and programs) for attending youth to assist them in achieving more positive outcomes. We are seeking youth stakeholders to serve as panelists and TEENS to be involved in the planning process for this event. We’d also like to reach out to those of you who service or serve our community of children, or have a vested interest in doing so.
We also plan to tape this event as some of the footage will be used for a film production that we believe can serve as a wonderful learning tool for TEENS and a promotional tool for the work of the NBTEE and many of our community resources.
We hope this event can serve as a model for several more TEEN Hall Meetings to be scheduled in Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens and Staten Island.
Please bring your ideas about the Harlem TEEN Hall Meeting to our local meeting on Wednesday, November 11th, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m., at the Law Offices of Figeroux & Associates, 26 Court Street, Suite 701, in downtown Brooklyn. You can take the 2 or 3 to Borough Hall or the A or C to Jay Street / Boro Hall. If you’d like to share your thoughts about this event or would like more information about the NBTEE, but can’t make it to the meeting, you can call me at 734.395.3079.
If you’re not in the NYC area, you can share information about The Harlem TEEN Hall Meeting and the NBTEE’s efforts with youth stakeholders and concerned citizens in your community, as well as good souls you know in and near NYC.
We believe through better communication and collaboration, we can celebrate more positive outcomes for more of our communities of children. Thus, we’re supporting two wonderful events on November 19th. One is for the Harlem CARES Mentoring Movement’s Evening of Grace and Thanksgiving (see www.harlemcares.eventbrite.com for details; and Fresh Start Youth Empowerment and Operation Hope’s breakfast networking event to promote a new and vital GED assessment program (see attached).
As always, thank you for supporting the NBTEE and its efforts to prove Black America has all the resources to improve the quality of learning and living for our younger generation.
Join us for lively conversation, special guests — and very special teens — on The Black TEEN Empowerment Radio Show every Sunday at 3:00 p.m. Listen in any time at www.blacktalkmediaproject.org.
