The Colorado Change Agents Teen Homelessness Advocacy, a district collaboration between the organization and me, is looking into the best way to not create new resources but to bring attention to existing resources. As a part of this, we’ve been looking into the community of Aurora Central and their students to better understand how the students feel or view homelessness. How we’ve gone about this is by placing mannequins around the school depicting bullying and homelessness scenes with comment boxes to see how students interact with the mannequins and what responses they give. We’ve been nothing but amazed at all the positive feedback we have gotten. As for next steps, Praislyn and I are creating a way for students to self-identify themselves as homeless or someone who has experienced bullying in order to determine action steps for the 2019-20 school year.
