BHC Youth Development Subcommittee Meeting
November 4, 2022 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
The BHC is a community-member driven initiative designed for Brownsville residents to achieve economic mobility. The BHC will work to generate revenue as a community and to disrupt systems that contribute to a lack of economic progress. This begins with subcommittees in 5 focus areas: Access, Self-Sufficiency, Ownership, Youth Development, and Civic Engagement.
In our research, we found that community members, organization leaders and more, found themselves asking: How do we get and keep young folks engaged and in the room? There are many programs and initiatives aimed at Brownsville youth, and we hope to come together to learn what has succeeded in the community, what has failed, and what else needs to be done.
We will begin the meeting hearing from a group of local youth, who have created a comprehensive safety report, surveyed their peers and created a plan for their future in the neighborhood.
This discussion will be led by BHC and BCJC staff on November 4th, and held at the Brownsville Community Justice Center on 50 Belmont Avenue.
