More than just a planning activity, the seminar became a platform for strengthening leadership, building partnerships, and reaffirming the role of the youth as active contributors to community development.
Indeed, this initiative marks a meaningful step forward in empowering young leaders, fostering collaboration, and shaping a more responsive and inclusive future for the youth of Naic.
