Youth are vital to all communities.
With the way the world has shifted, there is an opportunity to get more young people civically engaged in their neighborhoods.
Many young people have proven to have leadership skills by becoming activist during the pandemic.
Youth have been watching the work adults do and have taken charge by getting involved. This is a good thing.
Unfortunately, our community is mourning the loss of two young people.
The killing of a 3 year old in broad daylight is tragic.
Children are supposed to be outside and feel safe during the day.
Our community is outraged with good reason but we need to keep advocating for our youth and their safety.
Youth today no longer have the luxury of playing and just being carefree and
nonchalant about life.
This is a shame and we need to make sure this never happens again.
As we deal with the new way of living with masks, social distancing and being kind on purpose we must keep youth engaged.
Youth Matter in all communities and their voices must be heard.
Youth Matter.
Let Youth Speak.
Support Youth Ideas.
Let Youth Lead.
Youth are The Future.
Youth Matter.
