“This virtual event will ensure that young people in Montgomery County know they have a voice,” said Montgomery County Recreation Director Robin Riley. “When adults hear and act on that voice, together we have the power to transform communities.”

The town hall will serve as a platform to encourage young people to express their views and demonstrates that leaders in Montgomery County are intent about making sure those opportunities exist.

Students participating in the town hall will have the opportunity to earn one and a half student service learning (SSL) hours.
