I really wanted to work with at-risk and

homeless youth and so apparently i am

working for Larkin Street youth services

I'm the GED and academic instructor I

run my own program here I'm involved in

the employment training program i teach

from 1 30 to 32 in a classroom whether

it's math English history or science and

then I do manage my own GED group from

four to six pm a monday to thursday i

work with youth in transitional living

programs and then i also work with youth

that are trying to get housing and then

also work with youth on the streets or

other TLPs our goal is to help the youth

on the streets and to help improve their

living situations whether it's education

jobs employment financially held m8 and

so on i chose a human rights education

because i want to come human rights

attorney i want to emphasize in

immigration law or one of my professors

dr. Katz she has provided me with some

resources to present to my youth on some

scholarly journals and some documents

that we can read in the classroom and

also to some of the books that we have

read in class I've also on presented to

my students and we have some discussions

about it and like having a book club

about it as well I do want to work in

the community and not so much litigating

I want to or in community by offering

know your rights workshops I want to do

legal clinics and I want to teach people

about their rights in the immigration

community it was an empowering book

because it focused on the students

experiences and how they use literacy as

a means of expression and that's what

we'll be doing today as a classroom I do

enjoy the community cuz everybody wants

to see each other grow and to help each

other improve their communities that

they're in and they all folk they all
