Sudbury Action Centre for Youth to launch album

The Sudbury Action Centre for Youth is releasing an album this week, featuring the music of some people who use the centre.

Cheyanne Monk moved to Sudbury from Cobalt last year after spending a bit of time in Windsor working on her post-secondary education.

When I moved to Sudbury, I didnt have anywhere to move to, she said.

I came in a Greyhound and went straight to the shelter.

From there, Monk said she was directed to the centre, known asSACY. She received helpfinding an apartment and advice on education and employment.

She has alsoable to work on her musical skills something that has been a part of her life since she was young. SACY has volunteers that work with the youth to help record, write and produce music. SteveCaruso is one of those volunteers.

[The youth] bring the art to the table and its my role just to try and help convey that art into something that can be then packaged and expressed out to the world, he said.

He said he finds his time working with the youth hugely rewarding.

If I happen to have had a bad day when Im on my way into the action centre, its immediately dissolved upon spending time there, he said.

I get out of it a tremendous sense of satisfaction from seeing the projects come together.

The albumReshapewill be released this Saturday at SACYat 1 p.m.
