JustME for JustUS (JMJU), youth-led and rural-led, ensures young people in rural Maine have their voices heard throughout our state about the issues impacting the places they live and their local communities. 

JMJU recognizes that advocating for a better future requires expertise, labor, and time. Rural Mainers have a robust work ethic from a very young age and often work multiple jobs to help make ends meet. As such, JMJU’s core value is paying all young people for their time, which we believe is a small step in making community advocacy more accessible to youth in rural Maine - and for which your contributions play a crucial role in bringing power to rural communities!
