Ronneshia Bolden is 17 years old and a member of United Youth and Youth Workers of Boston. She believes that if downtown commercial property owners like Blackstone invested more into the community, there would be more resources for the programs that youth want and need. Ronneisha is coming from the perspective of a young leader who really wants youth to have opportunities to better themselves. She thinks that more youth jobs, youth programs, and street workers would benefit the community, help decrease the number of youth on the streets, and increase the number of youth participating in positive change. Such programs prepare young people for a positive future, help build character, and give a voice to all youth in the community.
