Writing Prompts/Ideas

1) What is your vision for a world in which all people can travel comfortably, safely, and conveniently? How can we make this vision a reality?

2) How can young people take charge of and help shape the future? What impact do you see yourself and other young people making in 10 years to the environment, or to other communities in the Sacramento region?

3) What matters to you about your community? What do you think needs to be changed to adapt to more of your needs and the needs of other young people?

4) Are there any parks or public spaces that you have strong memories of or that have impacted you in some way? What does that space look like, or what do you wish it looked like? What emotions are tied to that space?
