Voicing Our Ideas for Civic Engagement (VOICE CT) is a youth-led, nonpartisan civic engagement program that invites Connecticut high school students to identify a barrier to youth civic participation and propose a solution they can launch in their own community.
Submissions are open now and will close on Sunday, October 25 at 11:59pm ET. If you have an issue you care about, and an idea of how to fix it—this is your opportunity to make your VOICE heard!

The Rosetint Community Theatre, a new company in town, is producing a full-scale production of Sweeney Todd this September, with 23 local cast members and an 18-piece live orchestra. They reached out and asked that we share the ticket information with students and families.
They will be performing at the ECA Arts Hall on Audubon St. Performances run September 11th-19th, and you can find the ticket link here: https://tickets.rosetintct.org
Luckily, they were recently able to get a sponsor to cover 60 free high school student tickets to the 9/12 2pm show of Sweeney Todd! The Director and some cast members will also give an educational talkback after the show.
Each student that wants a ticket has to fill it out, and it is first come first serve:
