Wed. 7/11 from 12-2PMBorg Warner Room, Tompkins County Public LibraryWe are looking for teens across Tompkins County interested in bringing together youth throughout the county for positive environmental change and sustainability.
Join us Wed. 7/11 for a FREE LUNCH and core group meeting to start planning the 2012 Youth Power Summit for this October! At the 2011 summit, over 200 young people gathered to empower themselves to take action for clean energy, local food, and social justice in our schools and communities.
We're also looking for young people from across Tompkins County to help us brainstorm how a youth network could support and amplify what is being done individually at various schools around the county.
Additional initiatives as a youth network could potentially include: Anti-fracking activism, the Youth Farm Project with LACS and Southside, Hydrilla monitoring and volunteer work through the Cayuga Lake Floating Classroom, work with Get Your Green Back Tompkins, and fundraising for the BJM Fresh Foods Project.
Please invite your friends that may be interested, especially those who attend other schools throughout the county. We want to make sure the entire geographic area of Tompkins County is represented!
