| Manassas Pilots 1-By-Youth Project |
The 1-by-Youth Project was the most recent culminating event born of a constructive collaboration initiated in January 2008 by Unity In The Community, Inc. Unity began forging a cooperative partnership with multiple organizations including the Prince William campus of George Mason University. The strength of that partnership which encouraged and expanded neighborhood dialog encouraged local political leadership to become engaged in a broader constructive dialog. The 1-by-Youth Project centered on emerging community building interests while the Manassas municipal administrative infrastructure identified support that interested and engaged the religious community locally and nationally. As the overall structure gathered momentum commercial interests were drawn to the community building energy and spirit of volunteerism. The generating spark for this project initially came from Unity in the Community. The energy and continuing commitment originated in community dialog and resident visioning reinforced by political support and an open opportunity for volunteer participation. Unity in the Community is grateful to Kayt Jonsson and Casey Nitsch, journalism students at American University for sharing this brief documentary of the 1-by-Youth Project with us. It's great to see what community building dialog can accomplish! |

Unity in the Community working with the Prince William Campus, George Mason University and The Center for Voter Deliberation (Falls Church, VA) will offer study circle dialogs to engage the community on topics of current interest.
