Teens Go To "Bootcamp"

We hear a lot of complaints about young people leaving the city; however, a a new conference aimed at kids ages 12-19 is exploring ways to keep teens engaged in the community. The so-called community engagement bootcamp sponsored by Youth SJ will give kids a crash course in how to make a difference. 

Resource Center for Youth Director June Breau Nason tells CHSJ News their voices need to be heard because the ideas they come up with are creative and intelligent.

70 kids will be taking part in the conference which includes educational workshops and activities at the resource Center for Youth and the Glen Carpenter Center.
