Calling all Lewiston and Auburn teens! Join us for the next session of our Aspirations Workshop Series. “Me, Myself & I: Cultural Preservation” will be held on Tuesday, April 26th from 4-5 PM in LPL’s 1st floor Jeanne Couture Room.

Rakiya, Shobow, and Ahmed, three Somali college students, will discuss the protection and conservation of identity throughout the college experience, and how to keep family and culture in mind while making important decisions about the future.

These workshops are open to all middle and high school students interested in discussing their goals and learning how to access resources to build networks of support. Each workshop will include a presentation and/or activity followed with question and answer period. Workshop presenters will provide handouts for students to keep in resource folders. Free snacks are provided.

This series is co-sponsored by the Bates College Harward Center for Community Partnerships and the Lewiston Public Library, along with the assistance of many community partners that have donated college-related materials and staff time for the workshops.
