A report by @CommonSense says 60% of #children do not think their #voices matter in decisions made by their #localgovernments. Learn how to empower children to form their own civic identities. Read this @metronyu.bsky.social blog post, here: bit.ly/4p9ZoqI @NationalPLTI
Image captures square shared graphics with text, images, and logos all over. The text banner at the top of the document reads as follows, "New Blog Post! Building Young Civic Leaders: How Children's Leadership Training Institute (CLTI) Empowers Children to Change their Communities. Read now." To the left of this text are the logos for both NYU Metro Center, as well as the National Parent Leadership Institute. Below the logos is a rectangular image of children standing outside of a school in a circle. The five children form a semicircle with their hands covering each other's hands.
