The PB Youth Committee in District 39 met at Council Member Lander's
office on Monday, August 21st to plan for the new PB cycle.
Welcome back to the PB Youth Blog - Cycle 7!
As you all know, the next PB Youth Meeting will take place tomorrow: Thursday, September 28th from 6:00-7:30pm. It will take place at the Windsor Terrace Library (160 E 5th St, Brooklyn, NY 11218). Please note the change of location!
Recap from the Last Meeting...
After formalizing our PB Youth Committee Pledge outlining both the individual and group responsibilities of PB Youth, committee members discussed expanding the role of PB Youth for the next cycle. Members considered what projects to focus on, such as outreach to middle schools now that the voting age has been lowered to 11+ years old. The committee also began planning an Idea Collection Day of Action in which teens would run youth-oriented idea collection pop-up sites around the district, the tentative date for which is Sunday, October 8th.
PB Youth 2017-18...
Some of the goals agreed upon for the PB Youth Committee's work this year were to...
- Promote PB online through social media platforms and initiatives.
- Generate flyers and other branded content for the PB process.
- Coordinate a get-out-the-vote (GOTV) initiative that's student-specific.
- Volunteer at District 39 PB events (neighborhood assemblies, etc.).
Looking forward to the Next Meeting....
During tomorrow’s meeting, we will be making short videos about the PB process and why PB Youth Committee members decided to get involved. There will be snacks, so invite your friends (even if they don’t live in district 39)!
