Our community uplifts youth voices in many ways and we can continue to support young people and families in our city. By creating junior committees for high school and middle school students to share their thoughts on the city and their education, we can help young people feel encouraged and empowered. 

Empowering young people with a voice transforms them into leaders, changemakers, and the driving force behind the future of North Adams. 

Our young people want to feel connected, so lets connect them to their future and the future of North Adams!

North Adams has so much potential to grow into a place where families want to live and tourists want to visit. By supporting green spaces and updating sidewalks, we can turn North Adams into a walkable city.

Pedestrian friendly infrastructure will support physical activity, local businesses, and reduced car dependency. 

According to the National Association of Realtors, a survey showed that Americans prefer walkable communities. To learn more, read the survey here:

Lets build a North Adams where transparency is key and honesty is expected. By updating our North Adams website and being active leaders but more important, community members, we can make locals feel heard.
