After having the opportunity to partner with the Google Community Leaders program of New Orleans, I was able to see that there are people in this city that truly want to help better the youth. Attending weekly training sessions at the Youth Empowerment Project (YEP) through the Google CLP was definitely an eye-opening experience for me.
On Monday April 13th, 2015 three New Orleans teens were hospitalized after a fatal shooting in broad daylight at the busy intersection of Washington Avenue and South Broad Street around 4:20 p.m. Monday. The victims were a 14-year-old girl, a 16-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy. The 16 year-old boy is still in critical condition.
