Youth

Action Movement for Social Justice

Peace & Prosperity Youth Action Movement (PPM) is a group of teens and young adults, ages 12 through high school, focused on increasing social equity within our community.

 

We know that equality doesn't always mean equity, and everyone else should know, too. Social equity (also known as social justice) is the opportunity one has to reach success regardless of class, race, and gender. 

PPM’s strategy is to build a coalition of youth leaders throughout Michigan to create change in their local community and increase social equity. PPM’s model is based on over three years of youth action research in school and community settings, including project-based learning, focus groups, listening sessions, photo voice, surveys, and facilitated dialogue. PPM seeks to build a powerful and sustainable base for youth voice and educational opportunity. Youth aren't just the leaders of the future, they are leaders right now!
