Mini We Day

Mini We Day is all about youth empowering youth. Our students are planning, organizing and participating in a one day event that will bring in many speakers, entertainers, and local heros. We will have many educational and interactive booths set up around the school pertaining to health, wellness and healthy relationships. We have invited leadership teams from four different schools in our area. Our goal is to inform youth about both local and global issues and inspire them to make a difference.They in return will have a ripple effect on our community, by taking the messages that they have learned from us, back to their schools and presenting it on a smaller scale.
