CHESTER – The Chester Youth Collaborative and the office of Delaware County District Attorney G. Michael Green co-hosted the third Chester Youth Empowerment Summit, “Flip the Script, Stop the Violence” at Widener University on May 10. 

This year’s summit offered a range of workshops addressing topics such as violence prevention, conflict resolution, career development, peer pressure and more. Organizers planned the summit to inspire youth to bring about positive changes in their lifestyle choices, their communities and their schools. This year’s event also provided young people with resources to serve as alternatives to high-risk behavior and encouraged youth to become more actively involved in their communities.

The Chester Youth Collaborative works to strengthen and support out-of-school youth programs serving youth who reside in the city of Chester. The vision of the collaborative is to build a “strong Chester community in which all youth reach their full potential and transition successfully into adulthood.” For more information on the summit and to learn how you can get involved in the CYC, contact Ieasa Nichols at 610-497-7422 or ieasa.nichols@crozer.org.
