On July 17, The Education Committee of Herndon-Reston Indivisible (HRI) will host a Youth Forum where young activists will share their stories/experiences on current issues impacting their lives. These young millennials, recognized for their community involvement, will discuss how to tackle key issues facing younger generations. The 6:30 p.m. meeting will be held at the Sunset Hills Montessori School, 11180 Ridge Heights Road, Reston.
Following their presentations, there will be a round-table discussion by the speakers, and an intergenerational exchange with the audience about the issues raised. The meeting is open to all local residents, elected leaders and the media.
