## Resource

Two hundred teens aged 14 to 17 flooded Central Baptist Church for a high-energy safe space event packed with music, games, and dancing—designed to steer them away from violence amid a spike in juvenile shootings. Organized by The Morgan Casey Experience and Gateway Social for three years, the event flips the script by proving teens can “turn up” without chaos, while empowering parents and faith leaders to invest in their futures. Teens helped plan it, fueled by personal stakes like Morgan Casey’s own son, and the church stepped in to blend faith with fun. Event creators urge communities to keep funding these programs, reminding adults they were young once too—and that positive outlets can literally save lives.
