Our local partners are heroes engaging youth in community improvement and greening work to remediate vacant lots in their neighborhoods. @umichsph@PRCMI
Youth engagement in vacant lot greening matters! Organizations that involve youth in greening not only benefit from more people-power and creative ideas, they also develop the next generation of community leaders.

A U-M national survey found that a majority of American adults over the age of 50, including the 37% of older adults who own guns or live with someone who does, supports specific steps that could reduce the risk of firearm injury and death. https://t.co/urRFJUIVIW
