Are you aged between 14 and 19 years old?Do you care about your local environment?Would you like to help make the area you live in better,cleaner,safer and friendlier?If your answers are 'yes','yes' and 'yes',then read on!A local organization is carrying out a project,giving money to groups of teenagers who want to become active citizens.Here are a few easy things you could do to get started.
Meeting the neighbors.Everybody needs good neighbors.Knock on people's doors and find out what they would like to improve in your area.Set a date for a meeting and then make some plans together.If you don't want to go round to their houses,then you could always put a note through their doors.
Neighborhood watch.It is very popular in the UK.If you go away on holiday and leave your house,it's very nice to know that a neighbor is keeping an eye on it.It's a good way to make the area you live in safer.
Lending a hand.There are often elderly people living in the neighborhood who may not be able to do the things that you can.Offer to do their shopping once a week,look after their gardens for them or maybe walk their dogs!
No littering.Nobody likes picking up other people's rubbish,but a clean street can make all the difference.Go out once or twice a week and see what you can find.You never know,one day you might find something valuable!
Just tell us what you want to do.Then we'll send you more information.
