Greetings Ward 8 Residents,
We continued our Public Safety engagement session last night and heard from youth & students on ways to improve safety and in our Ward and throughout the District.
We had a dynamic youth-led conversation where they offered for following solutions (partial list):
- Invest more resources into entrepreneurial programs;
- Create more youth-led initiatives where youth are responsible for managing programs;
- Create a city-wide youth advisory board so that youth across the District build relationships with one another;
- Bring back mentorship programs so that youth have a communication pathway to an adult that is not their parents; and
- Add a stronger police presence on their way to and from school.
This conversation allowed us to hear directly from the youth about their experiences as it related to public safety. If you missed this event, you can watch the recap video here.
Regards,
Trayon White, Sr.
