ECONOMIC GROWTH

2. WHY DOES IT RESONATE FOR YOU?
• There are people in my family who’ve had trouble finding decent jobs that
would financially support their life decisions .
• I know plenty of people that have been unemployed.

3. HOW CAN YOUR INTEREST BE
APPLIED LOCALLY?
• Giving young people opportunities to internships.
• More trade jobs so that people can get experience, if they don’t have the
money to pay for college expenses, such as a university.

CONTRIBUTION?
• Advocate to the mayor at city council meetings about providing internships
for students while their in high school.
• Go into high schools to speak to the students about the opportunities that
are already out there.

GOAL?
