Why:
The way that youth see their communities is essential to developing a
common future vision. We can not get from here to there without knowing what
here looks like. The Regional Growth Strategy will explore the issues that are
important to you, but also it will help maintain what you feel is important.
How:
Create a Community Map with your peers, showing the areas that are important to you
and your friends parks, trails, where you hang out, etc). Show what you consider a
problem or are concerned about (environmental concerns, transportation, etc). Be creative
and discuss what you like about your community and what you don’t!
