On Saturday, February 9, 2019, a group of peer leaders, an alumni intern, and a parent from Hostos-Lincoln Academy in the Bronx attended Day One’s Youth Already Know conference in Manhattan. Our youth connected with other young people and adults from different organizations around New York City, and joined with them to learn about healthy communication, toxic masculinity, coping with rejection, empowerment and self-defense, dating violence, and being an upstander. The conference also featured interactive art and storytelling, where students were able to visualize different ways to interrupt cycles of racism and violence. Peer leaders collected knowledge, experience, and resources to bring back to their own school community, and we hope to see some of that highlighted in our upcoming spring campaigns!
