RadioActive’s Sadeen Al Ziyad has more about how Y-WE uplifts youth, especially youth of color, through programs that offer skill-building, joy, and a sense of belonging.

    These Seattle teens organized to change 'inhumane' living conditions at their housing complex

    Some residents of Jackson Park Village, a low-income housing community near Shoreline, say that it has 'inhumane' living conditions for the people — mostly families of color — who live there.

RadioActive’s Sadeen Al Ziyad talked to her friend and neighbor Yerusalam Kamara who helped found the Coalition.
