Revere Youth in Action (RYiA) is an emerging youth group, fiscally-sponsored by Women Encouraging Empowerment, Inc. RYiA is both challenging and supporting Revere youth to become leaders, organizers, and critical thinkers by offering educational workshops, leadership and civic engagement opportunities, as well as mentorship and oversight of youth-led-community organizing projects and campaigns.

My name is Daniela and I'm the Spanish community facilitator of WEE. On January 18th, we collaborated with an immigrant organization called MataHari, and we had a very successful event. For starters 5 community members of Revere joined the workshop. There, they learned about healthy living and wellness. After the workshop was over, all of the members expressed how wonderful they felt after attending. They definitely want to learn more and have more workshops in the Revere area. However, the most important achievement for me was the fact that my mother (a person who usually doesn't participate in community events) went to this workshop to learn more! After it was done, she cannot wait to get more involved in the community!

Mi nombre es Daniela y soy la facilitadora de la comunidad en español de WEE. El 18 deenero, hemos colaborado con una organización de inmigrantes llamada MataHari, y tuvimos un evento muy exitoso. Para empezar 5 miembros de la comunidad de Revere se unieron al taller. Allí aprendieron sobre la vida sana y el bienestar. Después que el tallerhabía terminado, todos los miembros expresaron lo maravilloso que se sentían después de asistir. Ellos definitivamente quieren aprender más y tener más talleres en el área deRevere. Sin embargo, el logro más importante para mí fue el hecho de que mi madre (una persona que no suele participar en eventos de la comunidad) fue a este taller para aprender más !Ella quiere unirse a mas eventos en la comunidad!
