Young people across Middle Tennessee deeply care about their communities. Though they can’t vote yet, many are eager and already participating in civic life to help improve the community for all of us.
Today, we’re talking with students who are working together to learn how government functions and young people who are using their voices to raise up concerns and ideas from their schools and neighborhoods. We’ll also check in with student representatives working with the Nashville Metro government. Join us for a special all-student panel!
