¿Por qué deberÃa importarnos?
La capacidad de SCS para brindar una educación equitativa y de calidad se ve socavada por la alta rotación de docentes y las vacantes docentes de un año, asà como por las importantes deficiencias de mantenimiento dentro de las escuelas, todo lo cual conduce a mayores costos financieros, educativos y de salud. La falta de acceso a servicios integrales proporcionados por trabajadores sociales, psicólogos y enfermeras calificados inhibe el tratamiento exitoso del trauma o las Experiencias Adversas en la Infancia (ACE). El abuso, la negligencia y el trauma aumentan significativamente la probabilidad de suspensiones, comportamiento delictivo juvenil y encarcelamiento. Con una mediana de edad cuatro años por debajo del promedio nacional, la población de Memphis puede apoyar el desarrollo económico, pero solo si brindamos a los niños de nuestra comunidad acceso a oportunidades y apoyo.

Calling All Youth!
Over the past year, we as the MICAH Youth Council have built power, sharpened our organizing and leadership skills, and planned impactful actions and now is your chance to join the youth-led movement!
Come to our Interest Meeting on Saturday, February 8th, from 5-6pm at Wesley Foundation- University of Memphis (3625 Midland Ave, Memphis, TN 38112). All Memphis and Shelby County Youth, grades 6-12 are welcomed!
The MICAH Youth Council (MYC) serves to make MICAH a truly generationally diverse coalition, joining together to give a more powerful voice for issues of justice in our city.
From speaking directly with elected officials about the issues that matter most to us, uplifting youth input through a mock election, and creating voter guides to improve voter literacy, the possibility of actions we can take together are endless.
To register, fill out the RSVP link.
