Jessyka and Kiefer Dooley are Seventh-day Adventist Millennial youth leaders who say they grew up with no interest in becoming leaders. Through a winding river of circumstances including being introduced to a lifelong relationship with Jesus they have both developed a passion for summer camp and youth ministries.

We have noticed a paradox: communities across the U.S. are aching for the kind of equitable planning that is best achieved through the co-design of democratic decision-making. Yet these processes and power are often locked up in the hands of a few.
Concordia has learned through 35 years of planning experience that the community needs to be vested with the opportunity and skills to address the problems they face. “With an entire nation reeling from a worldwide pandemic, fighting economic insecurity, and facing institutional racism head-on, this is the time for collective action for equitable decision-making,” says George Silvertooth, marketing and production planner at Concordia.
Join Next City for a webinar with guest speakers Melissa Lee and George Silvertooth, of Concordia, as they discuss “How to Bring Democratic Decision-Making to Authentic Community Engagement” on Wednesday, February 10 at 1 p.m. Eastern time.
