Yes, that is a kid with a violin walking through a garden in Detroit. And that alone should tell you why you need to support youth leadership in Detroit. :D
But for those who need a little more convincing—some context. This picture is from the youth led garden tour of Earthwork’s gardens in Detroit that I spoke about here. This tour was a part of Earthwork and Capuchin Soup Kitchen’s yearly celebration of Harvest Time. The youth with the violin played with other youth while the community ate food grown out of this very garden. It was a fabulous event—and the multi-generational attendance of the event was especially warming to my soul.
Please support these youth attending the Allied Media Conference in late June by donating the fundraising campaign that they created and organized entirely on their own!
Because youth leadership is happening RIGHT NOW!
Oh, shoot! I forgot to credit this picture! I got it from here!
Reblogging for the after work crew! Y’all—we’re sitting at $2,668 right now. I feel like the world is ON FIRE. I’m SURE we can get $3000 by the end of the night!!!!!
And to every single person who has donated/reblogged so far—*every*. *single*. *one*. of you—i can only say *thank you*. so much.
I love us all tonight.
