Sharon is developing a program that will train high school students in characteristics of thriving communities, then send them out to find assets communities can build on.  It is a true youth-adult partnership that gives youth the opportunity to engage with local leaders in a positive way and make a lasting impact.  Contact her for more information at (715) 479-3749.  To see an example, go to: https://iron.extension.wisc.edu/4h/youth-engagement/
