New Rules for a New Space

Recently, over 50 Phoenix youth gathered with the assistance of one n ten’s Kado Stewart, program volunteers, and GLSEN to lay out some ground rules for our new Central Phoenix Youth Center to ensure it is a safe space for all youth to feel welcome in. Youth wanted to keep some of our classic rules from former programs such as “Don’t Yuck My Yum” but also came up with new rules such as “Assume Positive Intent” to incorporate into our new space. By allowing youth to come up with their own, it empowers them to take ownership in their new space to truly make it theirs.
