Be the CHANGE! Fremont Youth & Government youth off to Washington, DC

In June, youth representatives from our Fremont Youth and Government delegation were selected to attend the YMCA’s Annual Youth Governors Conference in Washington DC, where they presented their project: Bay Area Drain Initiative (BADI). With a goal of addressing storm drain pollution in Bay Area communities, BADI is intended to collaborate with local government to install plaques that properly label storm drains. QR codes located on these plaques would lead individuals to a website with more information and resources regarding pollution in the bay and area wetlands. This opportunity was made possible by the Y-USA Changemakers grant.
