The Voices Behind the Walls

We envision a future where the families of incarcerated youth will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to adequately respond to children’s needs in support of positive decision-making and the fulfillment of children's potential.

S.B.W. Inspired Mentality

The SBW Team's vision is to help adults understand today’s teens’ mental health and social lives (online and in person) without comparing their personal experiences as teenagers with the issues that today’s young people face.

Aides of Apollo

Inspire adults to take the mental health of young people seriously and to visualize the impact of young people being able to freely talk about mental health with adults.

VOICE

Our group envisions a future in which young adults, teens and children may freely voice their traumas and issues with one another and adults without fear or lack of safety. We want a future where adults are educated on the mental health needs of youth, not just in New Orleans, but everywhere.

P.O.V. (Partners of Vision)

We envision a school environment where teachers and students can be symbiotic in making schoolwide decisions. We also see both parties being mindful and considerate of the other's mental health.

I challenge you to develop a solution that addresses both physical food access and food affordability in an effort to reduce food insecurity and improve equity in your community.

We foresee a future with a cleaner and greener Earth where you won't have to worry about Earth’s survival due to inhospitable temperatures.
