Do you want to commit to really making a difference in your town? Join us!
Your involvement in advocacy projects can be large or small. For example, we add content to our dynamic website on an ongoing basis and are always looking for useful articles and information. We initiate community activities, such as holding town hall style meetings with town officials and school leadership. We cover BOE and TC activities in a variety of ways. A great first step is to attend a town meeting and just listen. Other opportunities including collaborating and supporting PTOs and other community organizations, drafting and distributing information related to important town decisions, communicating with town and school officials, and helping during the voting process.
