Several months ago now, the Henderson-Vance Recreation and Parks Department started offering a weekly series of empowerment for the community programs. The offerings can be seen live on Facebook, or later after the interview has been completed in most cases.
On Mondays at 4 p.m., the Henderson-Vance Outreach Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Henderson-Vance-104608337596118) hosts virtual sessions for Henderson Empowerment.
Learn your basic rights and how to protect your civil liberties.
Jaleel Johnson, HVRPD youth services program coordinator, told WIZS in February, “We interview community partners,” and answer questions “that the community needs to know to make the community better.”
Knowing – and understanding – your civil rights is something that doesn’t always get taught in school, Johnson said. Although some of the topics are geared toward educating youth, Johnson said the participants range in age from 16 to 45.
