School Community<br>
<br>
The Parent Resource Center and the BUSD Parent Resource Office will host a
community forum. The theme for the Forum will be "BLACK YOUTH IN
CRISIS". Issues affecting Black youth, such as education, employment
and violence, are hotly debated topics today. Urban youth are bombarded
with negative media images, low academic expectations, and temptations, such as
drugs and crime, which often lead them away from following their paths to
success. At this event, we will address these issues. As we learn
ways of being more active with our children, not only will they respond, but so
will our community. Our community needs to take notice and step up.
If not now, when?<br>
<br>
The highlights of the Forum will feature Keynote Speaker Jason Seals, Professor
of Black Studies at Merritt College, and a Teen Panel consisting of BHS
students, YouthUprising, The City of Berkeley Youth Commission, and a Youth
Service Providers Panel along with a Networking Lunch. Please come out to
this most important community event. <br>
