NEW YORK (AP) — After years as a private commemoration, the anniversary of Sept. 11 at ground zero now also has become an occasion for public reflection on the site of the terror attacks.
Dreams can only come true when there are opportunities to fulfill them. It is difficult for teens living in areas like Mattapan and Dorchester to find outlets for their artistic talents. The Citi Performing Arts Center in Boston is a non-profit organization that has been providing help for young people through their City Spotlights Leadership Program.
Last year, the program helped 31 teens coming from 22 different schools and 10 Boston neighborhoods. This year, the program expanded to welcome 61 students. It teaches leadership, community, and career development skills to these "Teen Leaders."
