Youth Master Plan
Making history means planning for the future. Truly involving young people in the making of decisions that affect their educational opportunities, health and wellness, employment, and recreation options requires, as a first step, allowing youth and adults to plan together.   Training adults to listen and youth to speak-up is the first step of a regional master planning process.  In January, leadership training sessions were conducted by a consortium of local nonprofit and governmental agencies, facilitated by Coastal Community Foundation, to prepare youth for leadership roles in the planning process.  For more information go to:  http://www.charlestoncity.info/dept/content.aspx?nid=1558
