This Saturday, August 1st, the second annual Youth Empowerment Day 2009 will be held on Emerson Place between Myrtle & Willoughby Avenues from 12:00pm to 8:00pm. It’ll be great block party focused on youth empowerment!
The block party is sponsored by the Association for the Social Advancement of People (ASAP), whose campaign offers youth positive alternatives for healthy living, educational opportunities & financial prosperity.
ASAP’s intent is to reverse a downward trend of inadequate support for our youth by developing relationships centered on accountability as well as by introducing the need for collective organization & community reinvestment.
Saturday’s Youth Empowerment Day includes live music, celebrity guests, fashion & hair shows, a college fair, freestyle battle, kiddie carnival & SO much more. Please try to come out and make this year’s event even bigger than last year’s!![yed_flyer_a[1]web(2)](https://www.greeninbklyn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/yed_flyer_a1web2-200x135.jpg "yed_flyer_a[1]web(2)")
