Join us for Voices for Safety, a youth-led experience elevating the conversation around school safety. Teen members from Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley will present their year-long advocacy work through PAEKIPS—Protecting and Educating Kids in Public Safety—with a focus on solutions, awareness, and action in our community.
Hear a powerful presentation from our teen leaders and engage in a panel discussion featuring youth, elected officials, and public safety professionals. Following the Town Hall, explore interactive, teen-created stations designed to educate, inspire, and empower action. Each station invites you into the issues at the heart of school safety—and the solutions youth are calling for.
