Brien McMahon High School’s Center for Youth Leadership honored organizations in Fairfield County who promote peace and stand against injustice during their 2014 Awards Ceremony on Tuesday evening.
The Peace Project’s 10th Annual Dove Award was given to the Lower Fairfield County Regional Action Council & Post 53 Darien Emergency Medical Services.
Kaela Teele, a member of the Center for Youth Leadership said, “The Dove Award is presented to the person or organization that has done the most in the past year to promote peace, understanding and social justice and/or provide teens with leadership and activism opportunities.” …
Beth McCabe, Co-Director of the Connecticut Chapter of the Survivors’ Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP) said, “For us, it’s nice to be acknowledged but I think that they need to understand the impact they’re having and getting the word out on child sexual abuse, specifically in human trafficking and all the other issues they are dealing with; but to learn to be socially active, to make changes, legislative changes that really impact people’s lives.”
