Youth Venture

My name is Shana A. Saint Louis i am currantly 17 years old i was born in Jackson Memorial Hospital I reside in Carol City Florida as a student i have always strived for the best but i feel as though i should be doing more not only for myself but for my comunitty in the past 6 years i have lost 13 of my close friends to violence and honestly i blame my community for it i feel if there was somewhere for us to go where we can express ourselves in a loving protective enviorment maybe we wouldn't be on the streets selling drugs and carrying guns

• I have an idea for a venture but no team
• I need help passing Youth Venture’s selection panel
• Honestly I just want to get the youth off the streets
