Lessen impact using Economic Gardening programs.

Involve youth in Economic Gardening to lessen the impact.

Are your local youth putting their brains together to help establish and grow new economic development initiatives to lessen the impact of tough times?  With the many changes in our communities, young people will inevitably experience fear, anxiety, and stress, and an Economic Gardening program could be your answer.  Programs can be designed specifically for young people.

Adopt a role-model mindset. Yes, the COVID-19 virus was a historic crisis. But it was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to be a role model and optimise your ideas and opportunities by passing them on to the young people in your community.

Demonstrate a positive attitude, show compassion, and set new mindsets for your circle of influence to help young people become active in creating their futures. Remain calm and lead to exemplify the values and habits you believe are needed to serve the community you believe is in need.

When you plant the right seeds, young people, their community, and economic vitality and sustainability grow. You might think you want more time, a bigger space, and resources to help our young people. However, if used wisely, constraints empower us to think differently, stay focused, and be more productive and creative.

You won’t lessen the impact if you ignore the young people.

No matter how advanced or sophisticated a community becomes, I believe the best things in life are free, and the best strategies in life are simple. And yes, it is simple to understand, apply, teach and share with your young people.

Every community wants to create a vibrant business sector to support and grow new local enterprises and attract investment and jobs. They must also encourage affordable housing, grow regional tourism, and strengthen local partnerships. To do this, each community needs to engage its young people and train them.

Community import replacement and ‘buy local’ campaigns must be implemented and managed. Local governments and leaders should be prepared to dedicate staff time to initiating other programs so young people can be engaged and involved.

High school students can come up with some great ideas. Encourage everyone to keep youth involved because they are the future. Contact us to help design a program for your community: https://faqsupport.com.au/contact
