Acton Youths Chance for Change planning committee The Acton Youth's Chance for Change planning commit- tee consists of a group of individuals who have shown a tremendous commitment to activism in their com- munity. Each of them has dedicated their time and energy every week for several months to design an event that reflects the impor- tance of youth in the Acton community. With boundless creativity, they have met the challenge of creating an event where all youths' voices can be heard. Their daylong event, which is taking place on May 24, is providing a chance to recog- nize the talents and strength of Acton youth. This group of 11 motivated youth from Acton includes Hayley Gendron, Sean Haefner, Sarah Martin, Alannah Bowes, Dallas Shewfelt, Bekky Gibson, Corbin Resch, Rachael Moore, Matt Nuscimento, Robyn Dercatch and Carli Vickery.
