Future Plans and Partnerships
The Rockville Church is the future home of the Chariho Youth Task Force, a dynamic organization led by young people . Their mission is to educate, empower, and engage young people in order to create a sense of community, to promote wellness, and to sustain opportunity for their voices to be heard.
​
They have designed and launched public health campaigns highlighting mental health, addiction, and body positivity, focusing on the specific needs of young people.
​
In October, 2017, they held an escape room challenge event at the church to raise awareness for teen smoking, and already have big plans for future church events.
​
Check out their website for more information on the great work that they do!

Young people being awesome.
I am also planning to start my own organization with the current working name of Rockville Root Cause. It will be a new nonprofit that combines agriculture, hunger relief, and community enrichment by offering space for community gardens, resources to grow fresh produce, a commercial kitchen to prepare goods, and a marketplace to sell them.
​
We are currently fundraising and hoping to break ground on renovations later in 2018, but gardens will go in as soon as the snow melts for good.
