How You Can Get Involved:

We invite all community members, especially parents and youth, to share their thoughts and ideas on how we can best engage our young residents. Your input is invaluable in shaping this initiative to meet the needs and interests of our youth.

Community Meetings: We will be hosting a series of meetings to gather feedback and discuss potential activities and programs. Dates and times will be announced in the coming days and months..

Surveys: Look out for surveys that will be distributed to gather insights from both youth and parents regarding their interests and suggestions.
