Join our MicrONEesian Youth Forum, where you can learn and connect with different high school students around the island! The youth forum will be guided by subject matter experts who will engage students in facilitated discussions on the following topics: Drugs & Alcohol Prevention, College Awareness and Career Readiness, Environmental Stewardship, and Cultural Preservation and Identity. After the MicrONEsian Youth Forum event, students will work together for a span of 3 weeks to create an awareness project based on their respective groups. The hours accumulated for the awareness project, will count towards their service learning hours.
