The work of The Citizen Service continues with Newark Youth Leader Precious Akinydle and the Wilhelmina Holder Newark Youth Fellowship.
Precious Akinyele is a recipient of “The Newark Youth of The Year Award” two years straight! This young adult is one of our Newark Youth Leadership Fellows. For 8 years she has been part of Newark’s Boys and Girls Club as President of The Teen Center and Keystone Club. In the accompanying photo Precious is using her hand to say “He Clocked It” referring to Boys and Girls Club president Ameer Washington as he interviews Precious in a podcast. Precious tells us in the interview that this hand expression is similar to snap poetry.
