Elizabeth SummersLovingly called “E-Rock” by many of the youth with whom she works, Elizabeth's energy exudes creativity and fun, which draws young people to her. With high expectations and an outrageous sense of humor, Elizabeth has full-hearted faith in the youth she serves, most of which are caught up in the juvenile UN-justice system. Her special talents developing live performances, art exhibits and running workshops, allow youth the space to stumble upon their own creativity, which many of the teenagers didn't know existed within them. She gently pulls these young people into a new realm of looking at life through a different lens allowing them to see fresh possibilities. Crossing paths with Elizabeth has transformed many people's lives. A close encounter with E-Rock is an experience to be remembered by both young and old. The San Francisco Bay Area is extremely fortunate to have this amazingly artistic woman working with the youth in our community.
