You are receiving this email because of your relationshThis newsletter now reaches about 65,000 each month, and we hope you, too, will join us in our growing, urgent efforts to build better communities for our children, TEENS and young adults.  You can help by simply forwarding this email to your contacts.  

 

“By taking matters into our own hearts and hands, we will build brighter futures for and with our children.”

 

Community by community, The National Black TEEN Empowerment Expo (NBTEE) is building a national youth movement to collectively discuss, determine and deliver better ways to reach and teach today’s young generation.  We believe strength in numbers will also mean socioeconomic power that can help our children’s needs be a greater fulfilled priority.

 

Youth Movements are coalitions of concerned citizens and committed groups working together to improve the quality of life and learning for our children, teens and young adults.  By using a combination of live events, media, and web and mobile technologies, we hope to better assess, collect and create youth resources, and better connect these resources to our youth on a more consistent basis.  You can help by emailing information about youth programs, events, activities and resources in your community so we connect more young people to more options and opportunities ([e-mail]).

 

Joining The Better Detroit Youth Movement, new youth movements are now underway in Brooklyn, (NY), Baltimore, Los Angeles and Atlanta.  This year, we will also form youth movements in several other communities.
