What's 'YOLO!' about?
#YOLO is a phrase usually to excuse teens from doing something extremely stupid & unsafe. Instead, let's to do something amazingly positive with your life, and help the entire Lexington community in the process!
The ‘YOLO! Stop the Violence Experience’ is a strategic conference to excite and empower young people against youth violence, and to foster their positive development as contributing citizens. To overcome youth violence and its causes, the entire Lexington community – teachers, parents, students, community leaders, and businesses - must stand behind a united movement that our youth relate with and be ready to act on their perspectives!
