Join Our North River Youth Coalition
By, With & For Youth
One of our great joys is knowing that North River communities value the future of our youth. We know when given the opportunity to be in community leadership roles, they can add authenticity, enthusiasm, and their unique experiences. This is why we are forming a North River Youth Coalition for teens ages 14-18.
Our coalition will be "By, With & For Youth", meaning that the members drive the culture and direction of the coalition. They will have equal input, share credit and accountability for the coalition, and collaborate with board members, local business owners and government leaders.
