A shared community vision includes all voices—even ones that are often missing. Youth are a critical, but often overlooked, group to include. This conference call will discuss the role of youth in identifying a shared vision and will offer several models for how to get young people involved, including stories and lessons of youth engagement in Biddeford, Maine.

This call is designed for a general audience and will be useful to people and communities not interested in the RFP.
