Youth in Action: Universal Education
Up one level
ACTION
During their "Last Day of Summer Event," the Red Mountain NGC team educated their community about School on Wheels and the reality of homeless youth in LA.
They also participated in the "Save a Life Celebration," an event organized by all off the clubs on the team’s school campus to bring awareness to the different organizations students are passionate about and support. During the event, local bands play and students are given an opportunity to present about the organizations they are most passionate about and are working to support.
