To inspire activism in the next generation of leaders, community mentors in a variety of fields welcome teens on a drop-in basis to participate in workshops and conversations about changing communities. We invite youth to reclaim the word “responsibility” from its frequent use by adults to blame or shame youth for societal problems. Instead, young people will use art, critical thinking, and community organizing to reframe “responsibility” to mean “the ability to respond to a broken society.”
