The Youth
CHOICES task force (Community
building and mobilization for Healthy youth development through positive
Opportunities, Intervention and prevention, Collaboration,
Empowerment and Support to ensure Success)
held its fourth meeting on March 4, 2010 at CD-REC to
exchange information and to plan around four areas. The group divided into
four "affinity groups," covering youth
leadership, GED, law enforcement and prevention. The task
force is also working on
an application for the second two-year award of the 100
Best Communities for Youth and Promise Places. |
