Works Youth Event - July 25, 2001
It was magic at the end of the day. A 9.2 on a scale of 10.
Two
hundred and sixty-five very excited youth, 17 organizations,
participatory workshops, 103 evaluations collected -- 37 want to
be peer mediators, 17 want to join a youth peace coalition. This
event will be repeated next year -- we have lots of offers of help.
Great volunteers, alas not enough food, and alas, too much
profanity, but participants left with a real sense of high. NEXT
YEAR WILL BE PHENOMENAL!
