Thanks to all of you who came to our Action Forum last December (photos here)! Not only did our new youth facilitators receive their certificates, but it was also a chance for the different New Haven 2020 Action Teams to meet each other, introduce their projects, and exchange ideas and strategies on how to make New Haven a better place in 2010. On theme that emerged in almost all of our action teams over the last couple of months was the need to engage youth in their effort, so on major area we will be working on in the next year will be youth outreach. The groups that are primarily working on this are located at Evergreen Family-Oriented Tree, Inc. in West River, at LEAP in Fair Haven, and around the WEB Management Team in the Whalley/Edgewood/Beaver Hill neighborhoods.
Additionally, we are keeping our mid-term goal in mind and plan to create new dialogues and action teams in other neighborhoods in 2010 and connect with groups that are already active. New Haven is a city that is full of people who are working towards a change, and New Haven 2020 is about connecting these people and getting more residents involved.
