HIGHLIGHTS FROM PAST PROGRAMS
129 high school teens gained work experience this summer in New Britain and Bristol.
Several teens were Research Advocates for the YWCA's Photovoice Project in which they collected data by photographing & creating a media tool to engage the community in critical concerns about health and safety. Photovoice is based on the worldwide model that combines photography with grassroots social action.
