  Community Multi-Purpose Teen Center Initiative

 

Members of the public and the Los Alamos Juvenile Justice Advisory Board met in the Airport Basin Training Room on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 to focus on a Community Multi-Purpose Teen Center Initiative.


JJAB Chair, Alan Kirk introduced the Initiative with an assurance that building a Multi-Purpose Teen Center Facility will demand patience and community support.


During the JJAB meeting, members of the public and Board members organized committees, defined tasks and scheduled further sub-committee meetings in order to fill out the Phase 1 Los Alamos County Capital Improvement Program Application.


Chair Kirk commented, “Working together, we will bring this initiative forward and hopefully get it approved. Kids need and deserve such a facility in this County. It's too bad that of all the communities in the 1st Judicial District, Los Alamos is the only community without a teen center.”


Three committees were formed during the meeting: Youth, Project Overview and Similar Benchmark Projects. Each committee is tasked to fill out certain portions of the CIP application. To become part of this initiative, contact JJAB at Deb4JJAB@aol.com.
