Original Recording 10 December 2024 | Join us for a webinar on how your site can empower youth to find place and faith in our communities and democracy. The research and experience are clear: Young people are losing faith in our democracy; the best way to strengthen democracy is to teach it; when young people see they can shape our country, they believe in the future; and when they do that, we establish a foundation for a stronger and more hopeful next 250 years for our country, it’s people and the world. Our states and communities' local history sites are the perfect place to start that change.
