Our Purpose

Our purpose is to bring young adults together to work to solve social justice challenges in Concord, NH.  Ayi is a young new American adult who has recruited others in his age group to learn how to organize for social change.  Learning the steps of community organizing is as important to this group as is the outcome of any project.  Increasingly, they are seen as a group that can help Concord's police department or City Council understand issues from new perspectives.  As part of that work, this group hopes to work as volunteers with new American youth during the summer, introducing them to the beauty of their new home by leading outdoor adventure trips.
