Civic education that engages young people & their neighbors & prepares them to collaborate & champion initiatives for positive change in their communities.

We believe that our neighborhoods can become stronger when people of all ages have a better understanding of how they are built and managed over time.

When you become a patron of @RegenNeighbrhds you are joining a movement for neighborhood-based learning

This is a really cool concept. What if we officially involved children in infrastructure planning decisions that effect their mobility and independence?

Lotta Crok was appointed Amsterdam's new "junior bike mayor" after she complained there was no bike share bikes available in her size.

Thanks to her advocacy, a major state-owned bike-share operator is moving ahead with shared bikes for children https://t.co/BrHLQyUxo9

Teachers, at what point in the current school year, do you start thinking about/planning for the following year?

Today, voters in Gwinnett County, to the northeast of Atlanta, will decide on whether to approve a possible rail extension and a lot of better bus routes.

If it is successful, the transit referendum in Georgia's second-largest county would make history. https://t.co/omfHRHOOrZ

Our origin story is simple
Teacher: Let's pretend our city government gave us $ to improve our neighborhood
Student: This city doesn't care about us

@Ryan_Fisk @TheBradCurrie The teacher is in front of the class, the students are consuming a textbook narrative...a long way to go towards redefinition, but undeniably catchy way to introduce some otherwise dry content.

What if we had young people involved in government?

This is a nice lesson in civics, but what would it look like if young people had a voice in municipal governments?

"Researchers found that between 2000 and 2015, soaring rents pushed thousands of low-income black households out of what were once racially and economically diverse neighborhoods in Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, and Richmond."

"Those groups had been building about 300 units of supportive housing in the city annually when voters, in effect, asked for that rate to nearly triple by approving the 2016 bond measure with a promise of 10,000 units within a decade."
