Girard College hosts Future Now Summit with the goal of fostering a sense of community among Philadelphia’s youth and in an effort to connect them with resources to build their futures.
Girard College hosted an event Saturday for youth to be able to have a safe place to gather and consider their future.
The Future Now Summit featured several free areas students could wander around and interact with, including an art gallery featuring portraits of people who have been murdered in Philadelphia, as well as other locations in the United States. "These people had a life, had a legacy. They had family," Lomax explained. "We’re really big on co-victims. We don’t just do the exhibits, we actually use the art to pull them in and connect them to mental health resources and communal resources."
"These children are lacking in resources and additionally they’re lacking in adults who believe in them and willing to support them in the trials that they’re going through," Fernandez stated.
