Donnell Kie, a junior at Ballou Senior High School and member of DC Campaign's Youth Leadership Task Force, testified at a hearing before the City Council, Committee of the Whole, on Saturday, October 13, 2007. The hearing was convened by City Council Chairman Vincent Gray at the John A. Wilson Building to hear the concerns of youth.

Teens are experts on their own lives. They know firsthand how processes work for them and how they access services.

Three members of the YLTF who attended the hearing, including Donnell Kie, also spoke with Mayor Fenty after the hearing.
