The Youth Programs created a teen theater troupe called Speak-OUT for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth and their straight allies. The troupe performed for over 400 youth and adults and recently received a grant from the Boston Foundation to expand their work. The Youth Programs hosted a family and community picnic attended by over 100 children and their families from all over Franklin County. The Youth Programs received new funding to expand Help Increase the Peace, an innovative violence prevention program. The Youth Programs will work with the American Friends Service Committee to train young people in the greater Franklin County area in skills for resolving conflicts without violence and organizing to address such root causes of violence as discrimination, poverty and substance abuse.
