¿Por qué debería 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, así 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.

Acerca del evento
Last month, MYC welcomed new members from the Pleasant View School Immigration Reform group! Though they were not able to meet many of the other youth council members, they were able to spend some time in the I Am Program space and leave some encouraging messages on the chalkboard wall. Later, the I Am Program youth took pictures with the messages that they loved the most.
This month, Youth Council leaders will participate in the Youth Voice Summit hosted by the Shelby County Youth Council on Saturday, April 8th, 12-3pm at the Bridges Center (477 N. 5th St. Memphis, TN 38105). During the summit, the youth will meet with their Shelby County representative and advocate for changes they want to see in our community.
All youth in 6th-12th grades are encouraged to attend! If you'd like to join the MICAH Youth Council at the Summit, please register at https://forms.gle/5HEupWEEYtuPfwSf8
