Teens in Motion

So often we hear of stories of young adults getting into trouble with the law or being a disturbance in school. We at Try Change hear and read many stories of children doing just the opposite. Tonight we bring you Teens in Motion an organization based in the Bronx (NYC) which provides an avenue for the youth to express themselves in dance, step as well as drama. Teens in Motion also provides the motivation for the young adults to stay in school and further their education. Grammy Award winning recording artist Alicia Keys is a big supporter of Teens in Motion as you see during the introductory video.
As stated in their Mission Statement:

"Teens In Motion's philosophy is that any teen can be reached in spite of their circumstances.Our youth to youth performances and discussions encourage young people to continue in school and they feel motivated to explore the options of higher education.We believe that with guidance and opportunity today's youth can navigate through the complex ills befalling our communities"

Try Change salutes the participants of Teens in Motion for setting an example of what can truly be achieved if you believe in yourself. To learn more about Teens in Motion visit their website at:
