📢 Fantastic Friday Announcement: New Collaborative Project in Jamestown! 🌟

We are thrilled to announce the launch of: Jamestown Youth Ignite: Passing the Torch to Our Youth in Creating a Safe, Healthy, and Vibrant Community,

This is a dynamic new initiative in partnership with the City of Jamestown and Collaborative Children's Solutions! 🏙️✨

This groundbreaking project will run from April 2025 through June 2027, and aims to empower our High School Students as leaders in shaping the future of Jamestown.

Here’s how it works:

➡️ Students will explore the structure of our community—examining events, businesses, organizations, and city government.

➡️ They’ll meet with mentors and leaders to gain insights on the challenges and opportunities our community faces.

➡️ Armed with this knowledge, the students will work together to identify areas where progressive thinking can drive positive change.

➡️ Finally, they will pass the torch by sharing their findings with upper-level middle school students to build a unified team dedicated to advancing Jamestown’s future as they see.

Through this collaborative process, we’re working together with our potential leaders to create a more connected, forward-thinking, and resilient community! 💡🌱

Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this exciting journey of community collaboration and youth empowerment!
🙌



Let’s build a stronger Jamestown together! 🏡💪
