I had intended to get this follow up out the door much sooner...thanks for your patience.
Thanks to all of you (about 30) who showed up at the meeting last Thursday 11/11 at Bella Luna Milky Way. We did some hard work and produced great and powerful action items.
Please carefully review the following. Let me know if I need to add or detract anything.
As a group we decided to take three actions:
- Help coordinate addressing immediate and ongoing support and volunteer needs of organization serving youth.
- Organize a process to coordinate a stipend paying youth snow shoveling program
- Flush out how to involve ALL community stakeholders especially those directly involved or affected by violence in understanding and determining what will best address the roots and symptoms of violence.
- Identify what we are going to measure.
TEAMS FORMED AND NEXT STEPS:
Please take note:
- The snow shoveling group will create their own group.
- The youth services coordination and framework development team will use this group.
