For the second summer Germaine Redding is opening up his facility to provide a SAFE HAVEN for young people through the Peace & Prosperity Movement’s Power of 9 Summer Edutainment Series 2010!

In the summer of 2009, One Love Global and partners including Power 96.5 FM, the Power of We, Michigan State University, Ingham Lansing Community Coalition for Youth, and The New Citizens Press, created structured recreational and educational opportunities for youth. One Love Global is seeking partners, parents, and volunteers to ensure that our young people have a great time this summer too!
 
May 6th will also be the last day that One Love Global will be accepting applications from students in grades 7-12 for a 1-year PAID internship with the Ingham County Health Department. Interns will study the root causes that lead to health inequity and community violence like poverty, lack of access to resources, and the policies that create these conditions.

(We want parents and families affected by violence to be our special guests and our guide in creating a peaceful community)
