Common Ground Country Fair 2012

Pine Tree Youth Organizing (PTYO) is a brand new alliance of young activists who have come together in collaboration with experienced organizers to build a truly independent, community-based, youth-led organization. Our goal is to help each other build the skills, support and energy that we need to make a difference in our communities and in our lives. We will describe how PTYO is being built and what kinds of support and opportunities we plan to offer, and involve participants in a discussion of how younger people can transform Maine through democratic social change, and how PTYO could help.
