Voices of Youth Battle Creek: Back to School by Jamiaya Nowling

Jamaiya Nowling | Wednesday, September 15, 2021
The perspectives of youth in the city of Battle Creek will be lifted up and supported through a program beginning this month that will give them opportunities to showcase their talents and create a different view of the city as seen through their own lens. The three-month pilot program known as “Voices of Youth in Battle Creek” is sponsored by On the Ground Battle Creek, part of Southwest Michigan's Second Wave, financially supported through coalition underwriting. Our first contributor is Jamaiya Nowling. Jamaiya's pictures show Battle Creek Public School students celebrating their return to school this year with free backpacks, free haircuts, and some Bearcat Pride!
