— Synee Cole, JUNIOR FELLOW, JACKSON GROWN LEADER FELLOWSHIP representing liberty technology high school

hi i’m sydnee

What do you believe are the biggest strengths within your neighborhood or the bigger Jackson community?

“I believe the biggest strength is the love of its people.”

What are the best opportunities for residents in Jackson to grow, learn and succeed?

“Getting your name out there is sometimes difficult. It’s important that we have opportunities to let people know what we, as individuals and a community, are good at.”

What do you see as the biggest challenges for residents in Jackson to live healthy, productive and fulfilling lives?

“In my mind, the biggest challenge is some peoples’ ability to afford food. Groceries at the store, paying bills and the basic costs of living are really tough for a lot of folks. College affordability is also a big hurdle for people trying to move up.”
