Over two dozen youth from Fall
River and New Bedford get together at the Bank Street location of
Community Development Recreation (CD-REC)
on November 9, 2009, for an improv-style training with a local group
called "Out of the Gutter." The purpose of the training
was to "break the ice" between the youth members from the two
cities so they could work together more effectively to create a Youth
VOICE group in the entire SouthCoast region of the state. The first
task that the group will undertake is to create a regional youth summit
planned for sometime next year. For more
information about
the project contact
Healthy Youth Task Force co-chairs
