EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
This program begins when three young friends - Haley, Trent, and Lily - realize their favorite hideout has been trashed - again.
They have a choice: they can let the problem keep happening and go play somewhere else, or they can try to make a change. Students will see Haley, Trent, and Lily modeling the process of making a choice for change as they research the problem and prepare a proposal to their city council. Elements of this story are emphasized by three real-life examples of young people making choices and changes for their schools, communities, and state.
