A county that plans for its children plans to last. Greene County’s future depends on the opportunities we create for young people today. My vision is to give children reasons to stay, work, and build their lives here at home.
Youth programs and mentorship are the foundation. By connecting students with mentors, we provide guidance, encouragement, and pathways to success. These programs help young people see possibilities beyond the classroom and inspire them to dream bigger.
Schools must connect directly to local jobs. Greene County has industries, farms, and businesses that need skilled workers. By aligning education with workforce needs, we prepare students for careers right here in the community. Summer work and skills opportunities are equally important. These programs give teenagers hands-on experience, build confidence, and create income that supports families.
Safe spaces to grow are essential. Every child deserves a place to learn, play, and thrive without fear. By investing in community centers, after-school programs, and recreational facilities, we ensure Greene County’s children have environments that nurture growth.
This vision is about more than programs—it’s about hope. When children see opportunity in Greene County, they stay. They build families, businesses, and futures here. Investing in our children is investing in Greene County’s tomorrow.
