The Camel Project invites the community to come together for \u201cPower in Unity: Accountability to Our Community,\u201d a public forum focused on youth violence prevention, healing, and shared responsibility. The event will take place on Saturday, November 15, at 9:00 AM at the GoggleWorks Theater in downtown Reading.<\/p>\n
Organized by The Camel Project, this event will feature presentations and updates from three key community organizations: Bethany Children\u2019s Home, Green Building Alliance and The Camel Project.<\/p>\n
Each organization will share what they are doing to address violence, the progress they\u2019ve made, and what support they need from the broader community to strengthen their impact.<\/p>\n
The morning will begin with networking, coffee, juice, and a \u201cBuild Your Own Bagel Bar\u201d at 9:00 AM, and then the formal program at 9:15 AM. The forum will also include a special tribute to local youth lost to violence, honoring their lives and reaffirming the community\u2019s commitment to meaningful change.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccountability starts with showing up for each other,\u201d said Pamela S. Gockley, Founder and Executive Director of The Camel Project. \u201cThis event is about more than conversation\u2014it\u2019s about compassion, connection, and commitment to real, community-driven action.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Community Q&A will follow at 10:00 AM, providing attendees with the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and explore collaborative next steps to reduce violence and strengthen community trust.<\/p>\n
The event is free and open to the public. All residents, educators, service providers, and youth advocates are encouraged to attend.<\/p>\n
