Our Youth Councils are leading the way!
Today, the Berks Youth Civic Table wrapped up a powerful 10-week summer program with a youth-led debate. Students from Wilson and Reading School Districts turned their passions and research into real resolutions, proving that young voices can and do shape our future.
👏🏽A huge round of applause to our student council leaders:
Cassandra Velez, Reading Council President
Destiny Garcia, Reading Council Secretary
Evan Nagle, Wilson Council President
Julianna Foura, Wilson Council Delegate
Gabriella Foura, Wilson Council Secretary
We were honored to be joined by Councilman@jbaez1002
Councilwoman
Executive Director Angelique Hinton and our elder Pastor Morrison, alongside family and community supporters who showed up in full.
🌟 Our youth exemplified ethics, respect, and civic responsibility. Even when debating opposing sides, they modeled how collaboration and moral leadership can move a community forward.
This is the strength of our youth councils — building skills, shaping policy, and ensuring the next generation is ready to lead. 💪🏽
