Florence County Youth in Governance Programs

Eleven students trained in facilitating a community forum process through the Engaging Youth, Serving Communities project of the U.S. Department of Agriculture brought nearly 50 youth and adults together for a dialogue on youth engagement. Actions resulting from that process include:

  • 15 students in the Building Construction Class built a deck and handicap ramp for a community member that had requested it
  • Youth planned and publicized the creation of a community mural which involved over 100 community members and 259 elementary students.
