Jim Dittoe, a member of the Sagamore Institute, spoke to the Crawfordsville Rotary Club at their noon meeting. Dittoe works with the Youth Civic Engagement Council. The council’s mission is “to develop civically minded young people by giving them the direction, structure, responsibility, and mentoring necessary so that they become effective leaders in their schools and broader communities and increase civic awareness and engagement among their peers.” The council hopes to create a generation of bold, cooperative, positive young leaders inclined to address the issues in their schools and communities.
