Living in Communities
Participants will conduct surveys in their community and assess issues and highlight positive elements.
They will research information that is important about the functions of their local government such as the location of the municipal government and the schedule of meetings. They will conduct a preference survey and discuss how they can implement positive elements they envision.
Questions
- What makes a community a good place to live and what role can you take to implement your vision?

The survey and project could be assigned to them prior to class or assigned to be completed outside of class hours. Participants should answer the questions and provide the survey to at least two or more members of the community.
