Details

This program offers a simple, structured way to practice sharing differences while building understanding and relationships. Meet up with other teens to listen and be heard by others. Instead of debating or arguing, we take turns talking to share, learn, and be curious.

This month's topic: Race and Identity.

All participants will receive a free copy of Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You, by Jason Reynolds and Dr. Ibram X. Kendi!

Grades 6-12.  Registration is required.

This program is part of the “Stamped from the Beginning” community read series, made possible, in part, by the Hampton Roads Community Foundation, Virginia Humanities, the Virginia Beach Library Foundation, and the Friends of Virginia Beach Public Library.

Per the program funder's request, masks are recommended at indoor programming for everyone, regardless of vaccination status.
