What issues affecting youth in SF are you passionate about or do you look forward to working on at the YC?
 

I am passionate about Youth Incarceration because of its effect on my community. I have lived in the Western Addition and East Oakland areas. Being part of a community where Youth Incarceration is common, causes me to want to be more knowledgeable about this issue.

While working at YouthWorks I hope to accommodate organization skills and learn more about issues involving Incarcerated Youth.
