Youth Leadership

Young people can make a difference.

Hi! This part of the EMAN website is all about teens and kids in East Mt. Airy. We believe that youth voices matter. You don’t have to be an adult to make your neighborhood better.

Whether you care about the environment, want to help others, or have big ideas, you can be a leader right here where you live.
