Rise East 40×40 Youth Advisory Council Kickoff

Friday night at EOBA, we officially kicked off the Rise East 40x40 Learn and Grow Youth Navigation and Exposure Tours initiative.

Ben Wanzo of ESO Plus showed how our young people will help shape the Youth Navigation App from the ground up.

Gregory Collins and Jalil Butron of YouthBeat shared how youth will lead social media, podcasting, storytelling, video, and community outreach to help spread the word throughout the 40x40.

EOBA also gave everyone a look at how the Youth Loop Exposure Tours will connect young people directly to programs, careers, resources, organizations, and new experiences in their own community.

Our young people are helping build it, test it, tell the story, and lead it.

The community came out, the energy was strong, and Learn and Grow is kicking off with a bang.

This is only the beginning..
