About this Event
For a year, the Enrichment 2 Empowerment program has supported young people in understanding the root causes of violence and its impact on themselves, their families, and their neighborhoods. Engaged participants interviewed dozens of New Orleanians to reveal the reality of violence the city along with solutions and what can provide hope. This documentary screening is the next step in their social action campaign that leverages their experience and insight. They hope attendees of the screening join them in calling on city leaders to increase and maintain funding for youth programming and resources.
This free and public event includes the documentary screening as well as discussion on Saturday, December 7 from 12 to 2 pm at YEP in New Orleans East - 1200 Hayne Blvd.
Enrichment 2 Empowerment is a programing within the Center for Youth Equity, a research-hub at the Violence Prevention Institute of Tulane University.
