Youth Gun Violence and Community Support
Recent murders involving young people aged 18 and younger have commissioners asking how the community reaches at-risk youth. A town hall at Zion Church on October 29 is the second part of a community conversation, and commissioners want at-risk youth directly involved, not just handpicked student voices.
