Welcome to Creating Community Change Via Our Lands and Seas

#youthstrongincommunity 

My mission is to encourage S.T.R.O.N.G. youth community engagement in all aspects of the world and society, and it is meant for anyone who wants to expand and grow their mind beyond the traditional school settings. Through connecting with our land and water-systems, creating community activism, and learning more about our world we can create a difference. 

What is S.T.R.O.N.G. ?

• Tenacious: We are persistent through hard times 
• Responsible: We are accountable 
• Objective: We set attainable goals 
• Neighborly: We are kind and welcoming to others 
• Gracious: We show we thankful
