    I found this article to be very interesting! It talks about a group called Youth Jobs Coalition and it is made up of teens getting their voice heard and trying to make changes within their community. This is really great to really push the youth to get involved in their communities and voice their opinions and create changes on their own instead of waiting for thing to just happen one day. If you scroll through the pictures they talk about some of the things these youth do such as, calling people to see if they have voted and letting them know where they can go to vote , as well as having people sign a petition to raise minimum wage etc.
