The LeadOn youth recognized how emotionally stressful and disappointing this new context was for those graduating high school. The team came up with a plan to promote healthy outdoor activities for seniors as an alternative to the scheduled indoor dance and graduation celebrations.
The Nenana LeadOn group, PINK, intended to do multiple communities and school presentations, culminating in a high school assembly, to include a second round of “The Zoey Show”, an event structured like a talk show and hosted by a youth, Zoey, who asks questions of positive adults.
For their 2020 community project, the teens from Mentasta Lake Village and Chistochina Village collaborated to allow for multiple events and greater resources for ongoing community learning, connection, support, and fun.
