After Hours, Still Glowing: How DC Youth Are Lighting the Way to Safer Streets
When the day ends, our message still shines. As the sun sets over DC and city lights flicker on, something else begins to glow—youth leadership, purpose-driven choices, and voices that matter. This summer, DC teens are doing more than just showing up. We’re showing out. And we’re doing it mindfully, safely, and with intention.
#MindfulMonday isn’t just a vibe—it’s a commitment. From late-night conversations on the @DCDPR-supported After Hours Talk podcast to active participation in safe driving initiatives, youth across the District are stepping up to the mic and into leadership roles. We’re not just talking change—we’re walking it, biking it, skating it, and living it.
#TrafficSafety and #SafeStreetsDC? That’s personal.** Because we know too well how one bad decision can change everything. That’s why we’re taking the #GlowPledge—committing to safe choices not just for ourselves, but for everyone on the streets. Whether it’s wearing reflective gear, speaking up in our friend groups, or spreading awareness online, our energy doesn’t stop when the streetlights come on.
#PodcastDrop alert: #MidnightMessage hits different** when it’s real teens talking real talk. From peer pressure to purpose, these unfiltered conversations are shedding light on what it means to lead with intention. We’re building a culture of care, not just during school hours—but long after.
This movement isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress, and choosing the kind of summer that leaves a legacy. We’re DC youth with big voices, bright futures, and bold dreams—and thanks to the support from @dcdpr, we’re making sure those dreams move safely.
This summer, we’re not just youth walking through the city.
