The Community Engagement Committee of Adirondack Voters for Change is hoping to help the young in the North Country become aware of their place in our community and make it part of their dreams for a better place. In this year of local elections we want young people to think of their community, be it their school, town, or group of friends. Thus, we are sponsoring an essay contest with a lot of help from the Adirondack Center for Writing. The title is "My Dreams for My Community". We've divided the entrants into two groups: ages 13 - 18, and ages 19 - 25. The older group does not have to be students. Details are in the attachments below.
