Senator Reed stopped by East Greenwich High School to visit with student working groups and participate in the school’s “Choose2Matter” conference, a national movement that challenges students to work collaboratively to develop innovative solutions to social problems.
The conference presents an opportunity for students to work together to develop an action plan to address an issue that they want to change. Senator Reed will offer the student groups feedback as they develop their plans. Last year, the students tackled the issue of financial literacy and following their advocacy, Rhode Island adopted financial literacy standards and high schools in the state starting adding financial literacy course electives.
