Intermediate Program

Local Decisions, Local Leaders 1
is led by Michael Zackon — For grades 4 – 9

Do you ever wonder who decides when your street gets cleared of snow? Or why your friends have their garbage picked up on a different day than you do? The answer is that your local municipality makes these and many other important, but often overlooked, decisions.

Join us for an inside look at what makes a city tick, and how you can get involved and infl uence decisions that affect you every day! In Local Decisions, Local Leaders, campers will learn about the relationship between the municipal and other levels of government, the duties of municipal government, the importance of community groups and civic involvement, and they will (hopefully) get to meet with CDN-NDG borough council members.

This activity will be repeated in weeks 3 and 4 as Local Decisions, Local Leaders 2
