Action Forum for Youth - May 5, 2011
Fifty participants gathered to discuss challenges facing young people in the greater Issaquah area and how we can address those challenges as a community.
Participants suggested 36 possible actions, giving priority to the following:
-- Establishing a place for teens and youth to gather for entertainment, social networking and music;
-- Developing school models that are more true to real world expectations and consequences;
-- Showing the “Race to Nowhere” documentary throughout our community; and
-- Enabling students to create short educational videos about issues important to teens that could be shared with parents, law enforcement and the broader community.
These priority actions and themes will be used by the Issaquah Community Network to develop a work plan for 2011-2012, to guide the Network in initiating projects in partnership with community organizations, and to attract additional financial resources to the Issaquah School District community.
For those who were able to attend, our sincere appreciation for your participation!
