Reflections
Participant Kamira, Age 14, St.Paul, MN

“The footsteps march is an experience very dear to my heart…That day gave me a glimpse of hope that allowed me to see this is possible and we can do it…It showed me that the community is ready, they just need a leader and Project Legos I feel is that leader.”

 

Project Legos YOUTHsteps Forum is to celebrate the youth voice and youth based change in the Twin Cities. This event is an opportunity for the community at large to come together to hear the youth voice through spoken word, dance, song, etc. Join us for free food, free entertainment, and a chance to find out about other youth based change.”
