Perspectivas
grupo para estudiantes de secundaria
Perspectivas Latinas is a youth group led by RISE and affiliated with Rural and Migrant Ministry, built on the organizational principles of RMM’s youth programs. Perpectivas gives high school students from immigrant families in rural Dutchess County a forum to advocate for themselves and their community through journalism. Weekly meetings allow young people to share experiences and exchange opinions, support each other, and come to agreement on their common purposes. From those conversations emerge news and opinion pieces, for publication, that broadcast student perspectives to the wider community.
Our Working Agreement
As a member of this group, I agree to do the following to the best of my ability in every meeting.
* I will treat everyone with respect
* I will maintain confidentiality of what people say and do
* I will be fully present in all activities
*I will express my opinions honestly
While our primary mission is to produce and share the stories of our members, food and fun are always on the agenda
The purpose of the program is to expand the horizons of our members and to share their experiences in the broader community. To this end, we attend conferences and gatherings across the state.
