silver spring

Gandhi Brigade youth teamed up with peers from the African Immigrants and Refugee Foundation to make the case for youth space in downtown Silver Spring. The meeting with County Executive, Ike Leggett was organized by Safe Silver Spring. Young people explained why dedicated space for youth was a critical missing element of the downtown development.

While Silver Spring has strong youth leadership with experience in event planning and community organizing, these valuable services are very difficult to perform without a dedicated space.
