How Should St. John's Engage With Young Adults?
Official title: Young Adult Engagement in the City of St. John's
St. John's wants to hear from residents aged 18-30 about how the city should communicate and connect with them. The current youth engagement strategy is from 2020 and doesn't reflect how young adults communicate today. Your input will shape a new approach to involving young people in city decisions.
Why This Matters
Are you 18-30 and feel like the city doesn't hear you? This is your chance to change that. You could influence how St. John's designs public spaces and plans for the future. Plus, there's a chance to win a $100 gift card just for sharing your thoughts.
What Could Change
The city will develop a new Young Adult Engagement Strategy to replace the 2020 version. This could change how St. John's communicates with residents aged 18-30, what platforms they use, and how young people get involved in decisions about public spaces and city planning.
