Teen Summit Tackles Issues
AME churches
sponsor event
To give local youth the opportunity for
their voice to be heard, the African M eth­
odist Episcopal Zion churches in Port­
land and Vancouver are hosting a teen
summit and young adult assembly known
as ‘Teens ‘N ’ Jeans.’
The convocation-style event will take
place on Saturday, Jan. 14 from 9 a.m. to
4 p.m. at the Clark Public Utilities Build­
ing, 1200 Fort V ancouver W ay in
Vancouver.
The summit is geared for youth, ages
13 to 23, to learn and discuss the issues
affecting young people today, including
gang violence, health and wellness, and
finance. Regardless of faith background,
everyone is invited to attend the free all-
day event.
Presentations will also be m ade by
com m unity advocates and industry pro­
fessionals, in hope that teens, once
armed with increased inform ation about
how to m eet the needs o f com m unity
and com bat bad behavior, will be in­
spired to ‘be better and do b etter’,
stand together and rebuild com m uni­
ties.
Attendees are asked to bring an open
mind, a pair of gently used or new jeans
and two cans of food to donate to local
homeless shelters.
