In Students' words VFC is:
· Students making a difference for other students, one project at a time.
· A way for you to have a say in making our community better!
· Simply a group of students who want to make a change in their school and or community and are actually making changes.
·A chance to work with students in your own school and meet students from other county schools who are working on similar projects.
·Students having a voice in decisions that affect their lives
- An opportunity for students to create a positive school climate.
· An opportunity to work with other students and adults to identify problem issues and come up with solutions.
· A Fun chance to work with the school and the community to make things happen.
· A way (or vehicle) to get adults in the community to finally listen to things that are important to you.

Voices For Change (VFC) is a year long process designed to enable students to identify issues related to their school and community that concern them and their peers; assess and identify solutions to the issues; select activities and programs to solve the issues; select adults to assist them in the process........while also developing leadership and empowerment skills.
We, the Voices For Change students want to be proud of our schools. We believe that Lenawee County schools need to be Healthy and Safe and have diverse opportunities, and updated technology. We also believe that our communities need to have more opportunities for young people.
