The CHAT: Change Happens with Alexandria Teens


  • Are you between the ages of 14-19?
  • Do you live in Alexandria?
  • Do you have opinions about what it means to be a teen living here, how you spend your time, what you wish you could change?

Join us on Thursday, September 3 for Amplifying Teen Voices with The CHAT: Community Unveiling.

Alexandria Library and Youth Leaders have come together over the last six months to discuss what it means to be a teen in Alexandria and how to effect change for this diverse and important age group. Community members and leaders are invited to experience these teens' views first-hand with a multimedia presentation, refreshments, and an opportunity to contribute their own opinions to this teen dialogue project.

What is The CHAT?

The CHAT: Change Happens with Alexandria Teens is part of the Teen Dialogue Accelerator Grant Program and made possible by Cortico, in partnership with MIT Center for Constructive Communication and PBS Frontline. The Teen Dialogue Accelerator program is made up of 10 public libraries from across the country that are working to amplify teen voices by exploring emerging technologies and identifying crucial connections in their community conversations.
