Students strive to better their community and bring positive change to their neighbors through their actions, words and time. Community activism groups, such as EMPOWER, FFA and Bree’s Blessings, all pictured to the left, work toward their goal of bringing positivity to their community through kindness and positive thinking, performing service projects, bringing awareness, lobbying for legislation changes at the Statehouse and marching for social change at the National Mall. Through student activism, FFA students traveled to the Statehouse to lobby for legislation the American Farm Bureau Federation wished to pass. EMPOWER students journeyed to Washington, D.C., to attend a Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America conference to learn about the power of positive action. Those involved in Bree’s Blessings traveled to the National Mall to participate in CureFest, an event to help fight for expanding funds for childhood cancer research. Though students might not see immediate effects, students continue to work to bring change to their communities.
