Zoom Meet-Up

Sorry you missed our exciting meet-up on Saturday, June 13, 2020

Thank you for your participation in our “Little Germinator” meet-up on Saturday, June 13, 2020 . The conversation was dynamic and informative. Mrs. GERMBuster (Mrs. Jolandra Houston) provided a sensational STEM class which taught us proper procedure for hand washing and sneezing. Through song and dance we learned how to keep ourselves and our community safe. Pre-registered YIIPsters received program material which included Mrs. Houston’s beautifully written and illustrated book.

Real Life * Real Talk

We all want to YELL and SCREAM! We have questions and someone must respond. In the face of divisive leadership, historical changes are being forced into place, confederate statues are finally being removed, and it feels like maybe we can move the needle THIS time! We invited professional law enforcement officers to have a frank and candid discussion with our YIIP 365 age group (13 to 21). They were asked the hard questions and did not fail to answer them all! Our children left knowing their voices count and should be used for change.

Ryan McClellan, a 29 year old Houston native graduate from Spring High School, completed his bachelors in Criminal Justice at Sam Houston State University. After pledging Nu Phi in Houston, Ryan continued his education at Boston State University with a concentration in Organizational Management. Ryan McClellan works in Federal Law enforcement , but will speak candidly with YIIP as a private citizen. Ryan McClellan lives and works by his motto, "You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people if you don't serve. "

Real Life & Real Talk

Saturday, June 13, 2020 at 10:30 am

We curated community leaders to ignite a candid conversation with our YIIP 365 members. Ryan McClellan and Detective Cedric Mitchell. They provided REAL answers from their real life experience. Everything regarding law enforcement, our rights during a traffic stop, and questions about justice were on the table. The candor of our hosts was refreshing and well received by our YIIP365 class. We are looking forward to each of them sharing their talents by creating a video to lend their ideas, concerns, and voices to the discussion. These videos will be given by World Youth Foundation to the Obama Foundation to add our "Post Cards from the Edge" to the national conversation.
