Alderman Thompson, Ms. Johnson, and a host of community activists and business leaders are bringing youth ages 14 - 18 from the 16th Ward together to discuss issues that are important to them.
The youth will have the opportunity to participate in break-out ssessions ranging from how to prepare for a job interview and the effective uses of social media to the importance of breaking the "Code of Silence" in their communities to stop the violence.
In addition, resource information for summer programs and employment will be made available to the approximate 300 youth expected to attend.
