During today’s senate session, I had the honor of recognizing ‘Youth in Democracy’ scholars Alex Wilbur and Daniel Moran from Housatonic Valley Regional High School! The Youth in Democracy program provides a platform for students and young adults to explore an issue that is important to them and create positive change in their community.
Alex is working on a pilot program to collect prescription pill bottles at the Salisbury-Sharon transfer station and have them distributed to developing nations.
Daniel helped get a $2,500 grant for a new drone and drone training for the North Canaan Fire Company. The purpose is to help identify potential nearby water sources when battling structure fires in remote areas and also assist with search and rescue operations for people and animals.
Thank you to these two great students for your commitment to service in our communities!
