Young people from our Youth Action Center's InterCORE traveled to South Carolina last month to help launch a Youth Advisory Strategic Council. This group of 8+ dynamic students representing Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties made quite a splash on the news scene.

We are so proud of our young people for leading the charge.

"We are here because we want to speak up for those in my community who are undocumented who are not able to speak for themselves in schools for fear of facing deportation."

"We are here to reclaim power that has historically been held only by white adults in the education system and to build collective power with Black & Brown youth."

"We are here because we believe that there is power when Black & Brown youth stand up and speak out."

"We are here because you can’t be what you can’t see and representation matters."

"We are here because there are things that Black & Brown youth know that others simply do not know - and we shouldn’t have to wait until we are older to lead - we are leaders now!"

This summer, 25 Hutchison students are growing as leaders through the Bridge Builders program with BRIDGES, USA. They participated in the Bridge Builders Summer Leadership Conference, which begins a year-long commitment. The program aims to build leaders who can work together across racial, cultural, religious, and economic divides. As our girls learn how to make a difference, we know they will use their new knowledge and skills to have a positive impact on the Hutchison campus and the Memphis community: https://www.hutchisonschool.org/page/News-Detail?pk=1289113
