TE@20 SHOWCASE
Teen Empowerment is deeply grateful to everyone who supported us in celebrating our 20th anniversary at the TE@20 Showcase on May 30, 2013. We told TE's story through video clips, amazing speeches by young adults who once worked as youth organizers, and heartfelt speeches by current youth now following in their footsteps. Then we mixed in some dance, drama, and rap.
