Youth and Adults Working Together for a
Safe and Healthy Community

Summit Committee meetings - Ongoing

An organizational meeting took place on Wednesday, December 12, 2007 in the high school teaching auditorium to follow through on ideas generated at the Community Summit on Youth, hosted by the Saratoga Springs City School District, the District Attorney’s Office and the Partnership for Prevention in November 2007. The keynote speaker was adolescent brain development expert, Mike Nerney.

Four committees were established to discuss ideas generated at the Summit:  parent resources, high school transition, public perception of harm, and youth-focused initiatives. These committees will meet on an ongoing basis this winter. If you are interested in working with any of these groups, please contact Courtney Lamport or Mike Piccirillo.
