On Monday, October 26, four YDB students – Rhonda Ellington, Danyel Hudson, Sherrell Hunter, and Fatima Todd – had the opportunity to attend the Project Voice Youth Conference in Frankenmuth, Michigan.  The conference was organized by Michigan’s Children and the School-Community Health Alliance of Michigan and featured two guest speakers from the original Freedom Writers, Tony Becerra and Darrius Garrett, as well as workshops focusing on community advocacy.  Click the photo for more highlights and some student comments on the conference.
