I just met this young man who was part of the Interact Club at Booker T. Washington High School and helped author a handbook for adults that features the youth voice to drive positive change on Atlanta’s Westside. #youthforchange

Tonight we served 145 seniors. Their bus trips to the grocery store have all been cancelled - so they’ve been calling me. I grabbed just four volunteers, in two hours and we made it happen. They said “I knew you wouldn’t forget about me” and so many cried. These are tough times.
@laurenkoontz @atlantaymca I'm with you. Thanks for your good work!
