SUMMARY:Cultivating Civic Engagement: Sowing Civil Servants
DESCRIPTION:What does the future of democracy look like on Mount Desert Island? Join us on Zoom for a presentation and community discussion led by MDI Historical Society intern\, Chebacco author\, and lifelong MDI resident\, Sabrina Calas. This presentation will be held over Zoom. The public may attend on Zoom or join others at the Jesup to watch the program together. \nWhile national trends show a decline in youth civic participation\, Sabrina Calas’ research\, conducted during her internship with the MDI Historical Society\, uncovers a different story. Drawing from her article in the 2026 edition of the historical journal Chebacco\, Sabrina will explore how we teach citizenship within MDIRSS AOS 91 and beyond. Through interviews with local educators and officials\, she highlights the ways our students are spearheading community initiatives with the same maturity and drive as the generations before them. \nSabrina Calas is a 2020 graduate of MDI High School and a 2024 graduate of the University of Southern Maine. Having returned to the island to focus on community organizing and grassroots movement building\, she also works at Triple Chick Farm\, where she helps provide year-round access to organic produce to keep our community resilient. \nSign up to attend in person or on Zoom.
