Alexandria Youth Council (Spring 2008) : From Bottles to Books Members of the Alexandria Youth Council (AYC) decided to take a look at teen pregnancy through the eyes and voices of teen parents themselves. Equipped with digital cameras and audio recorders, AYC members interviewed and photographed teen parents and their children, researched the impact of the issue both locally and nationally, and created scenes illustrating the consequences and responsibilities of being a teen parent. The students’ primary goal is to increase awareness about the issue of teen pregnancy, particularly among their peers. Recently, the students presented their photographs and research to the Alexandria City Council and exhibited their work at Alexandria City Hall. The exhibit’s opening reception was attended by the Mayor, Deputy Superintendent, City Manager, and members of the City Council. The students have also created a powerful video consisting of photographs, music, and audio clips of their interviews. This project was conducted by the Alexandria Youth Council, the Alexandria Campaign on Adolescent Pregnancy, and Alexandria City Public Schools.

New Orleans : DOCUMENTING SCHOOLS IN NEW ORLEANS Since February 2008, Critical Exposure has been working with middle and high school youth in New Orleans to document conditions in their schools following Hurricane Katrina. Youth from 5 organizations from across the city are working together on a project to ensure that there is a strong youth voice in the school rebuilding process. As part of the project, students came up with a “Student Bill of Rights,” which lays out some of fundamental concepts that youth think are important for a high-quality education. Here is an excerpt: “We, the Students of New Orleans, believe that every student has the right to: 1.An equitable and excellent education that prepares ALL students for college, work, and life. 2.A safe, peaceful, and secure learning environment. 3.Interesting, cool, innovative, and responsible teachers who provide students with individual attention and are prepared to teach to different learning styles. 4.Clean, well-maintained facilities that are conducive to learning. 5.Access to appropriate learning tools including computers, textbooks, and libraries.
