Youth Engaged in Social Research for CVRPC Plan Vermont

As part of this year’s CSC class, students conducted VOX Pop interviews with people in the local community about the future of Central Vermont.  The videos were collected in collaboration with the Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission (CVRP). One of the goals of Plan Central Vermont is to “to create an open and engaging public participation process that empowers youth to participate in and provide meaningful input to the local and regional visioning and decision-making that shapes their communities.”

Plan Central Vermont believes that “youth have unique insights into the experiences, needs, communication habits and interests of young people and can incorporate fresh ideas and perspectives into the regional planning process.”  Please check out some of the interviews students collected below…
