MyCom Two for Tuesday Celebrating Events in Shaker Heights
The IMPACT Youth Enrichment Program recently held its annual Black History Celebration in Fellowship Hall at Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Cleveland (UUCC).
IMPACT is an afterschool prevention program directed by Sandy Troupe and Briana Young for Shaker Heights Middle School 7th and 8th graders in collaboration between UUCC, the Shaker Heights Youth Center and MyCom. It provides afterschool programming three days a week focusing on leadership, service, wellness and academics. Community guest speakers talk with the youth throughout the year and parent engagement events are held as well.
Students in the program created presentations on influential African American people, some well-known to many and others that were previously unfamiliar.
