Through We the People, students learn to EMBRACE each other and the role they can play individually to collectively strengthen the fabric of our community, EMPOWER their generation to be a part of tomorrow’s solutions, while building an understanding that we all have more in common that divides us, and to ENGAGE fully in their community.
Since 2017, We the People has engaged over 700Bergen County children in acts of service to theircommunity.We hope to expand We the People’s impactby conducting more frequent days of service and byexpanding the geographic reach beyond BergenCounty. During the 19th century a profusion of charitable organizations emerged to alleviate the awful conditions of the working class in the slums. The Labourer’s Friend Society, chaired by Lord Shaftesbury in the United Kingdom in 1830, aimed to improve working-class conditions. It promoted, for example, the allotment of land to labourers for “cottage husbandry” that later became the allotment movement. In 1844 it became the first Model Dwellings Company.
