Not a Number
GCAPP partnered with The Georgia Center for Child Advocacy to conduct human trafficking and exploitation workshops from the Love 146 Not a Number curriculum. Over 30 teens from the Latino Youth Leadership Academy (LYLA) Summer Program coordinated by The Latin American Association participated in four days of interactive activities to increase awareness of current dangers to prevent becoming a number in the billion dollar sex trafficking industry. It is reported that more than 3,600 children are sold into sex slavery every year in Georgia alone. 
Relationships are complicated… between family, friends, and especially when dating. Common behaviors and characteristics could be difficult to interpret once emotions take over. The young leaders were asked to identify healthy and unhealthy signs of a relationship. GCAPP's relationship experts shared examples of how unhealthy signs and red flags show up in real life situations to help decrease vulnerabilities. It is important to identify warning signs early and report them to a trusted adult.
Dr. Tyra Ellis, PowerMoves! Program Manager, teaches young people the importance of healthy eating at a community event in Macon, GA.
Be Prepared for Summertime Snacking!
National Fresh Fruit & Vegetables Month comes just in time to remind us all to choose healthy, well-balanced snacks during summer vacation. Always try to include a good source of protein with snacks. Try these combinations - apple and string cheese, whole grain bagel and peanut butter or yogurt with nuts and fruit. Plan snacks as part of your daily menu to help your growing young people meet their nutritional needs.
When You Become the Image of Your Imagination...
Youth Advisory Council member Ashley Amukamara is heading to Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri to pursue her dream of becoming a medical doctor. Her journey is inspired by a quote from RuPaul Charles saying “When you become the image of your own imagination, it’s the most powerful thing you could ever do”. We are grateful for her commitment and service. If you know young people who would like to join GCAPP's Youth Advisory Council, encourage them to apply before June 28. Visit gcapp.org for details.
