Calling all teens in grades 6-12! Want to learn more about your government? Join former lawyer Nora Mulligan for our first Activist Academy of the year. This one-hour session will help to build a foundation for understanding the United States government systems by guiding us through the different levels and branches of government from local to federal (including their limitations and responsibilities), discussing how the court systems work, why voting matters, and ways teens can get involved with shaping policy decisions and other government functions. Free of charge.

Social Emotional Learning article, by Jess Lodato, RYC Youth Educator
Little kids have big ears, and our adolescents take in more than they let on. Our kids hear us even when we think they can’t or aren’t paying attention. This is something for adults to be aware of as we head into an uncertain and unfamiliar school year with the anxiety of COVID-19.
