What many of us call Youth Voice is a key underpinning to positive youth development as well as an essential element to public discourse on important issues. It is vital that we invite young people participate as equals with adults in the give and take of policymaking.

Carver initiated a quarterly series of Youth Forums last January, the first Forum having Norwalk middle and high school students discussing the rise and persistence of the so-called Achievement Gap.

In several weeks, chaperoned Carver students will soon be boarding a chartered bus for a life-changing road trip to the schools they aspire to attend one day. Experiencing the fun of hotels and catered food, up to 30 students will be visiting eleven schools beginning with Temple University and ending with the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

The itinerary for our 42nd annual college tour is as follows: Temple University, Philadelphia, PA on April 16;  Delaware State University, Dover, DE; Morgan State University, Baltimore, MD; University of Maryland Baltimore County, Baltimore, MD; Georgetown University and Howard University in Washington, DC; Virginia State University, Petersburg, VA; Virginia Union University, Richmond, VA; Hampton University, Hampton, VA; Norfolk State University, Norfolk, VA; and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Princess Anne, MD on April 23; and then home to Norwalk, CT.
