In this episode of “Beyond the Teen Tech Center”, we follow the story of Naje Wright, a former Best Buy Teen Tech Center member who grew up in Minneapolis. At 15 years old, Naje’s journey at her local Best Buy Teen Tech Center gave her opportunities to cultivate the skills and relationships that shaped her path forward. After graduating from Ohio Northern University, Naje returned home to Minneapolis where she holds a position at the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, making a difference in the community she serves in a way that empowers her.
