It is easy to say what teenagers should be doing better or that they are not interested in what’s going on in society. However, the reality is that teenagers in Birmingham are being equipped with leadership skills and service opportunities around the city.
One of the ways that students connect with the city is through Anytown Alabama, a social justice and leadership camp offered by YWCA Central Alabama. Anytown is a weeklong camp held at Camp Hargis in Chelsea, and student participants live and learn together for an entire week in the summer.
