Teens With Attitude (TWA)

Emma L. Minnis Jr. Academy - KY, Kentucky

Teens With Altitude (TWA) is a sociodrama designed to address community problems of drug abuse, teen pregnancy, fire, safety, and gangs. The sociodrama is presented through music, skits, puppetry, poetry, and black light performances. It will strengthen social and resiliency skills of children and youth to exhibit appropriate social behavior, to use safe and healthful practices with their peers, to refuse to become involved with drugs and gangs, and to refuse to become teenage parents.

Before I started working in community service-learning, I was one of those people who didn't have much of a social conscience. Now all of that has changed, and I say, 'Put me in the trenches to do the real work to make a difference.'"
