The Problem

The communities we work in are in Cincinnati, Ohio and we get involved the council members and Mayor. Right now we are pressing to start advocating a law about teenage drinking and driving. As a group we volunteer for different health walks (March of Dimes), and as individuals we volunteer for our communities we live in.

Plan of Action

This program has been around for several years, but each year it's becomes more involved and better! The students that are elected to be council members and Mayor are the ones that make the program. We have made impacts on our own lives and in the lives of other students. The program is always looking for ways to give inner city teens/kids a way to be involved and help their community.
