• Friends can help each other make their community healthy.

Residents who Take Care of the Neighborhood
• Community residents who take the time to care for the neighborhood make the area much healthier.
• If everyone just took care of their areas, children, and other stuff, our entire community would be clean and healthy.
• The YLC is doing what we can to help.

Flowers and Plants
• It’s important to have a community decorated by flowers and plants because it makes the whole area look nice.
• When people have pride in their community, they will treat it better. It’s easier to have pride when the whole place looks good.
![Page 16: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Pets
• When people have dogs, it forces them to go for walks in the community, and that helps make our neighborhood feel like a community.
• Some people are scared of dogs. But when they’re cute, it can help people be nicer to each other and talk with each other more.
![Page 20: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Outdoor Activities
• Outdoor events help to bring people together for a good cause.
• When there are activities, like basketball tournaments and farmers markets, people from the community come out of their homes to do healthy things together.

Homes Being Built and Rebuilt
• New homes make neighborhoods look nicer and cleaner. If they are affordable, people can buy and settle down in them.
• When people fix up their homes, they can live in nicer conditions. They also help improve the area and make it more appealing for everyone.
![Page 28: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Jobs
• People need jobs to support themselves and their families.
• When people have jobs, they are less likely to get in trouble or do things that are unhealthy.
• When new construction happens in our neighborhood, more jobs become available for people.
![Page 31: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Schools
• Schools are a very important part of a healthy community. Youth need a good education to get anywhere in life.
• When youth get involved in their schools, it is more likely that they will become healthy community members.

In our neighborhood, there are other things we do not like that make us unhealthy…
![Page 40: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Litter
• In our neighborhood, you often see trash, junk, papers, and other things on the ground.
• Litter makes our community look dirty and like a bad place to live. It makes it look like we don’t care about our community or the environment.
![Page 41: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Graffiti
• In our neighborhood, you can find graffiti on the walls, streets, and other places.
• Graffiti can have a negative influence on the hearts and minds of residents, including young kids.
• Gangs can use graffiti to mark their space, and this can cause turf wars.
![Page 45: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

The street should not be made into a canvas for childish people!
![Page 47: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
This street sign is NOT a piece of art

Other Kinds of Blight
• Other blight we see in our neighborhood are empty buildings and broken windows.
• Seeing these kinds of things all the time makes us feel like nobody cares about our community.
• Youth may also come to feel that blight is okay. Blight can influence crime and violence too.
![Page 49: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
For the past seven years, this building has looked like this. It was just torn down.
![Page 50: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
I don’t think 165th avenue is a Safeway parking lot!

Either violence or carelessness caused for this window to be broken.

Youth Street Culture
• In our community, youth often have nothing to do.
• If youth are bored and have no other options, they can get into trouble, do negative things, and sometimes get involved in gangs.
• Young kids in the community learn from older youth.
![Page 53: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Since there is nothing for kids to do, they make up games like this one called “Tether Bottle.”
![Page 54: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Youth street culture, along with the media, can teach violence at an early age.
![Page 57: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Liquor and Cigarette Stores
• There are lots of liquor and cigarette stores in our community. Sometimes these are the only places you can go to get something to eat.
• Young people watch adults going into these stores to buy beer, cigarettes, and dirty magazines. This can have a bad influence on kids.
![Page 58: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
This liquor store is open almost 24 hours a day.
![Page 59: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
The refrigerator for the beer is RIGHT next to the soda refrigerator, where kids always shop
![Page 60: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Cigarettes are sold for cheap so more people will choose to buy them.
![Page 61: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
On top of this cigarette stand are stuffed animals that kids love – not the right place for them!

Building and Street Maintenance
• Buildings and streets in our neighborhood are not always well kept.
• We often see broken pipes, chipped paint, dirty buildings, and fallen street signs.
• Some of these conditions are dangerous and could make you sick.
![Page 63: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Broken pipes need to be fixed – this can’t be healthy for kids that pass it every single day
![Page 64: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Look out – cement chunks falling off of the building

These doors need a good washing…

Police
• While police are supposed to keep the peace, but many residents do not trust them.
• Youth worry about police misusing their power, misjudging what people are doing, and discriminating against them.
![Page 68: An Inside Look at Our Community The Ashland Youth Leadership Council presents:](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649ebf5503460f94bca5cb/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Some people feel that the police are discriminatory or disrespectful to residents
