Clinic student and Schweitzer Fellow Tricia Hammond has developed a much-needed program for incarcerated Durham teens, providing them with legal and health education, literacy classes, and mentoring. Partnering with fellow-Schweitzer Fellow and medical student Simon Ascher, Hammond is hoping to make a difference in the juveniles’ lives: “By going to the Youth Home and getting to know the kids and engaging them intellectually, we hope not only to teach them important information but also to communicate to them that they are valuable, intelligent, and capable of making choices for a different life.” For more on the program, click here.
