Communities That Care

Posted on March 13, 2009

What do young people REALLY want?

As part of Five Town Communities That Care’s ongoing mission to promote healthy youth development and community involvement, the agency will be undertaking a series of youth forums in the coming weeks. The goal is to learn from the youth of the five towns what types of recognition they value, and what the barriers are to greater involvement in the community by young people.

Youth from Hope, Appleton, Lincolnville, Camden, and Rockport in grades 5-12 will be randomly selected to receive a packet of information inviting them to participate in one of several professionally moderated forums where they will be asked to discuss these questions. Interested students will be asked to return the packets and will be given further information about the process. Incentives for participation will be provided. Parental permission for students under age 18 will be required.

For more information, phone Dalene Dutton at 236-9800 or email dalene@fivetownctc.org.
