Talented Teens Take Town Hall to the Top



Teen Town Hall Meeting: Graduation Celebration
was a positive wonderful event. The youth united and pulled together an insiring program. We are proud of their efforts and know that they helped all of those in attendence. Plenty of youth were on hand from area schools, shelters and the neighborhood. Family members, coalition volunteers and community leaders also came out for the event.
A youth created interactive presentation brought attention to issues facing young people about alcohol consumption. Since youth came up with the ideas, we know they deal with these problems everyday. It was great to hear the problem followed by the solutions. The presentation was followed by a preformance from We Are The Future youth group. They use their talents to inspire and bring about positive change!
We hope that in the future we can get more and more youth involved in our activities. If you know any interested youth, please contact us. A youth advisory board with students from different high schools could be a great way to mobilize the talents and energy of young people. Thank you for your interest in us!
