For the past eleven years, Youth Continuum has honored those who work along side us to serve children and families.
The Youth Advocacy Awards have celebrated the achievements of those who strive to improve opportunities in education, health care, employment and enrichment for Connecticut’s young people.
The 2011 Youth Advocate award will honor former Board Member, community member and inspirational author, Yusef Poole. Faced with the temptation of embracing a community culture of drugs and crime, Yusef surmounted the obstacles of a disadvantaged-urban life in New Haven, and eventually graduated from the city’s Ivy League college.
Yusef will serve as our key-note speaker along with two former clients of the agency, eager to tell their own stories of triumph. |
