Youth bloggers are taking commitments to improve their community from the computer to the streets.

On a daily basis, Youth Central is posting blogs created by student volunteers detailing the three things they plan to do to make Calgary a better city.

“So often, in our city and everywhere around the world, when they launch new initiatives, they’re only for adults,” said Andrew Phung, program director with Youth Central.

“We wanted to create a youth spin on it.”

Grade 9 student Lucy Miao, decided to start off small by committing to things like making a new friend and cleaning up the streets.

“Even if it’s just something small, the things that seem trivial can really make a difference,” she said.

Sheliza Kassam, 14, said she already achieved her first goal of meeting her neighbours after eight years of living next door. Next, she hopes to create committees in each city ward to promote youth events.

“I think it’s amazing that youth can actually input their ideas because they’re really the future of tomorrow.”
