About this Event

Event Description

The City of Sanford is committed to ensuring we are inclusive and accepting of all people, because the strength of our community is our diversity. The City of Sanford’s Race, Equality, Equity, and Inclusion Advisory Committee and the Mayor’s Youth Council, in partnership with PJI, are hosting community conversations to hear the voice of our youth and work together to build a more equitable and inclusive future for all residents. This year, we will explore Sanford’s history while amplifying youth perspectives on the issues that matter most today.
