YOUTH IN OUR COMMUNITY...
by Bobbie McCreary

 

January 05, 2005
Wednesday


To Tyler, Rick, Sara and Joe (and others who care about the future of our youth)... The Revilla Island Prevention Coalition is supporting a youth initiative to answer just this issue (how to support the older teens and young adults with what they need in our community.)

Our second meeting of a group of youth and VISTA workers is scheduled for this Friday afternoon at 4PM. We're been exploring all kinds of ideas... including the re-emergence of the Peace Group (originally sponsored by VISTA worker Doug Osborne about 4 to 5 years ago) and the sponsorship of a "Future Search" process to reach out to all youth stakeholders (and key adult decision makers). I am encouraging the youth to take the lead and we adults to listen and provide mentoring and support as needed.

Please contact me at 225-2250 or rmccreary@att.net for more info. We WELCOME your involvement and support.
