My Community Development Project Needs Your Help!

I've been working with a program called LearnServe International since this summer to try and create a solution to the issue of a lack of fair, educated input in community development, and to do so I want to know how residents of the neighborhood feel about it. The survey can be accessed via the link below, and only takes about five minutes to complete:
LearnServe International is an organization dedicated to helping high schoolers in the DMV develop their own nonprofits and venture programs to address issues that they are passionate about. They have helped me in countless ways in regards to creating my venture and have given me lots to think about. Their website can be found here
Right now, I'm mostly focused on collecting information about existing conditions and getting people's opinions, but in the future I hope to start looking at what can be done to actually change this. If you live in East Rockville, please take the survey!
