Vilma Gutierrez – Brooklyn resident and current senior at Benjamin Franklin High School In the summer program, I learned a lot and it was a fun experience. I learned a lot of what’s happening in the community like with the coal and the industries. I was really shy at public speaking at first; but, over time, I got better and I’ve gotten confident talking in front of an audience. The reason I got through that was our team with their encouragement and wise words that gave me the courage to overcome that. " Taysia Thompson – Curtis Bay/Cherry Hill resident and student at Mergenthaler Vocational Technical High School This summer program was a different experience for me. Being involved in a powerful movement and being around powerful people gave me a reality check of what is happening in our world. This was a lovely way to get involved with my community and also learn about the challenges that others face. When joining this group, I would have never thought of how much fun I had this summer.
