Inspiring Ongar’s Youth: Young People Leading the Way
Today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders — and in Ongar, they’re already making a difference. One of our goals at Ongar Tidy Towns is to engage young people in community and environmental efforts, and the results so far have been nothing short of inspiring.
Why Youth Involvement Matters
Engaging with young people early fosters a lifelong commitment to environmental responsibility. It builds character, develops leadership skills, and strengthens our community bonds.
School Partnerships
We’ve teamed up with local schools to offer hands-on learning experiences. Students participate in litter picks, biodiversity projects, and creative competitions like poster-making and eco-art.
Youth-Led Initiatives
A recent campaign led by teenagers focused on reducing plastic waste. Their efforts included informative social media content and school presentations — and it worked! Several local shops now offer paper alternatives.
A Call to All Young Changemakers
Whether you're a student looking to complete your Gaisce award or simply want to make a difference, Ongar Tidy Towns is the perfect platform to start your journey.
