Anecdotes and quotes

Michele Gagne   Narrative: Chichester Recreation Master Plan forum (Dec 2008) involved youth in compiling survey data from the elementary school children regarding their desires for the future of recreation in Chichester.  The youth then presented the data to the community at the facilitated forum (facilitated by Thompson School students in CSL 204, which I was teaching at the time).  The community has since put forth a Master Plan for Recreation, including representation from all of the boards in town (School, Selectmen, Conservation Commission, Planning Board, etc.).  The work I did with this community has led them to seek the assistance of students and faculty from the Thompson School on implementing some of the Recreation Master Plan.  This work, if it comes to fruition, will take place in PY 09. Entered: 07-Aug-08 File: NARR1125Chichester Recreation Forum report.doc Related indicators: CPL2 -Twenty groups/organizations work with youth and adult leaders to engage diverse citizens in community decision-making and needs assessment.  CPL4 - Twenty groups around the state implement participatory decision-making processes as a result of Civic Participation and Leadership Team activities (i.e. Master Plan Visioning Session, Community Profile Action Planning, strategic planning). In addition, individuals and leaders in these communities realize their capacity to make a difference in their community.   SNHC4 - With Extension's assistance, 15 communities implement mechanisms/tools to analyze the current situation and identify emerging issues to be addressed.   SNHC10-Community residents identify and implement projects and activities that reflect their  community’s needs and wants.  (Relates to 4H4)   SNHC2-10 steering/planning committees help facilitate a minimum of 10 Community  Profiles/ thematic processes that create a minimum of 30 action groups.   Related participants: Adults Youth Other staff: Deborah Cheever Nancy Evans Daniel Reidy Related locale: Merrimack
