Teen Violence - Public Achievement Project

As part of their 2010 Public Achievement project, a civic engagement and service-learning program, a group of high school Junior's enrolled in the "I Have a Dream" Foundation programming in Boulder Colorado created this mini-documentary telling the stories of Teen Violence in their community. With the production of this video, telling how it affects the wider community, how people get involved in gangs, how they get out, and what youth can do if faced with the decision to join, they hope to increase awareness of the issue, and decrease teen violence in our community.
