Youth Renewing the Countryside

By Becky McCray

Contribute your stories, images to book showcasing role of young people in rural revitalization

We read about “Youth Renewing the Countryside” at two influential rural blogs, The Rural Populist and Center for Rural Affairs.

Consider contributing your story or photo to Youth Renewing the Countryside, a book in progress that will capture the best stories of hope and youth-led renewal in rural America. The book will be produced by young writers and photographers who tell the success stories of young adults crafting rural livelihoods that support themselves, their families, and their communities, and of youth programs that build social capital while strengthening local food systems.
…
Contact Beth Munnich (beth@rtcinfo.org or (866) 378-0587) with: * your story idea * name(s) of potential contributor(s), including young writers or photographers

The deadline for nominating stories, writers, and photographers is June 15, 2006. Submissions and nominations will be reviewed beginning in early June.

The book is a project of Renewing the Countryside.
