In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
This free forum is designed to provide young people with a platform to interact with local experts and explore topics that directly influence their community. Through a series of interactive workshops and facilitated discussions, attendees will delve into how information is disseminated within the community and how local industries can support their career aspirations. Each session will feature a concise presentation, followed by hands-on activities and collaborative group discussions, encouraging participants to share their perspectives and formulate potential solutions to the issues at hand.
This initiative highlights the City of Frederick’s commitment to empowering its youth by giving them a voice in local governance and community development. The forum is expected to equip students with a deeper understanding of civic processes and the interconnectedness of local industries with their future career paths.
