Creating Spaces for Young People

If you talk with the young people in the Catskill region, they will tell you that there are simply not enough places for them to be together in person for fun. One teenager is doing something about that. Edrick Henderson is a rising junior who lives in Phoenicia, NY, and has been skateboarding since he was a young boy. He is leading an initiative called Shandaken Skatepark that is creating a place for skateboarding in the town of Shandaken. His father, singer and founder of the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice, has supported his son’s vision for a place for young people to be together, exercise, and have fun. HealthCetera host Dr. Diana Mason, RN, talked with Edrick and Kerry about the project on HealthCetera in the Catskills, WIOX Radio, on June 19, 2024.
