CAAM Youth Now

To inspire activism in the next generation of leaders, community mentors in a variety of fields welcome teens to participate in unscripted conversations and workshops about changing communities. Young people use art, critical thinking, and community organizing to reframe “responsibility” to mean “the ability to respond to a broken society.” This spring, teens share topics of interest and explore them with Theatre of the Oppressed practitioner Lakhiyia Hicks, who will lead the group in an interactive workshop. Nutritional snacks provided by Vegan Outreach from 12–1 p.m. For individual students and school groups; enrollment required.

Created in partnership with Green Dot Schools and the USC School of Dramatic Arts under the advisory of Brent Blair, director of theatre and social change and associate professor of theatre practice.
