"The first session of the Youth Speaks at American Baptist College was absolutely amazing !  All the participants are actively looking forward to next week's second session.  The icebreakers were engaging and energizing. and the dramatic monologues were creative and enlightening.  Lastly,  the improvisations and writing projects gave a voice to all.  My initial impression was that this workshop would only be suited to youth ages 13-19, but I witnessed unique interactions as parents, youth, mentors,  mentees, and college students  became transformed by the spoken world and the voices of Youth Speaks." - Janet Walsh
