‘My voice matters’: Kensington and Fairhill youth have answers to improve community safety

A group of 14-24 year-olds are leading their neighborhoods in a series of conversations and focus group sessions dedicated to creating safer, more equitable communities within the Philadelphia neighborhoods of Kensington and Fairhill. 

On Tuesday, June 16, these young community organizers gathered in the parking lot of New Kensington Community Development Corporation (NKCDC) where they delivered a preview of a report based on session findings and recommendations from these voices on how to move forward on a number of issues plaguing the surrounding community.
