Ava Long, owner of Floral Botanical Medicine, based in Rumford, Rhode Island, invites young adults to join the New England World Council for Health Young Adults – New England, which she describes as a “young adults movement to help build a better future for Gen Z [that is] bringing together passionate young people who want to make a real difference in their communities.”

The network focuses on health and wellness education; building successful businesses and careers; financial literacy and entrepreneurship; affordable housing solutions and community advocacy; stronger relationships and meaningful community; cleaner food, healthier lifestyles, and reducing unnecessary environmental exposures; supporting freedom, innovation and local solutions; and creating opportunities for young adults to thrive.

“We believe the future belongs to young people who are willing to lead, collaborate and build something better together,” Long explains. “We’re looking for volunteers, organizers, creators, entrepreneurs, students, healthcare professionals, artists and anyone who wants to make a positive impact. If you’re in New England and want to help shape the future for young adults, we’d love to hear from you. Join us. Get involved. Help create a healthier, more prosperous future for the next generation.”
