Memphis HOPE Students Film Their First Video PDF Print E-mail

Memphis HOPE kids are Going Green this summer through the Technology & Community Youth Employment Program by using the latest technology and software to produce an advertising campaign to convince their neighborhood to Go Green. These students learned how to conduct an energy audit of local homes using information and software from the U.S. Department of Energy. This project is supported by the Workforce Investment Network and other sponsors. Watch the video now.

The Urban Strategies, Inc./Memphis Hope Project, led by the Women's Foundation for a Greater Memphis, provides a new model for comprehensive community supportive services for over 700 former public housing families in Memphis. This is a partnership with the City of Memphis, Memphis Housing Authority and other local and national funders.

These urban students in Memphis are taking back their neighborhood and we at the Women's Foundation are proud to celebrate along with them.
