Across the country this year, the youth voice has led the conversation on implementing change. That's no different in Cleveland. But what is different is the way the stories are making headlines. In the Plain Dealer series, "Dear Cleveland", reporters Rachel Dissell and Brie Zeltner attempt to bring these voices to the forefront -- sharing videos, stories and more, with much of the writing from the young people themselves.
We spent a few minutes at the Plain Dealer's offices in Tower City to learn about the "Dear Cleveland" series and caught up with members of the EYEJ Impact 25 Youth Council.
