Description

In response to a community need, we will be hosting a youth engagement event on Mental Health Day Thurs 5/16/24. There has been some building racial tension between our local youth (many attending Roxborough schools from bordering neighborhoods) and the Roxborough community including local businesses. 

Intercommunity Action is using this event as a pilot to start bridging community relations with our youth. As they walk down Ridge, they pass by Pocket Park, where we will be hosting the event and offering free refreshments and haircuts. Our goal is to connect those youth with summer resources including employment, help with applying for work permits, and connecting to mental health resources.
