“The Food Initiative”
“The Edge”
“Into the Wild”
This triple play of interconnected programs is designed “… to develop a thoughtful and productive community of young people who can change the world in a lasting and positive way.”
Thus, with a $5,000 matching gift from the Dandridge Trust, “Mission Clarksville” made its formal debut Monday evening with a video presentation and a “meet and greet” with program administrators and more than two dozen representatives of Clarksville businesses, schools and media.
