CITY OF FALL RIVER |

Youth are an important part of
a Healthy City. This year's
Mayor's Youth Forum again provided an opportunity for Fall River
youth to gather at B.M.C. Durfee High School to share and learn with one another, and to add their
ideas to the Healthy City goals. A full CD with over 70 photos from the
event is available from
Mr. McCloskey. |

Partners understands that
youth have to be involved in shaping the quality of life in the Greater
Fall River Area and supports the many ways youth are active in addressing
health-related and quality-of-life issues among their peers. This year's
Mayor's Youth Forum provided an opportunity for Fall River youth to
gather, share and learn with one another, and to review the progress they
have achieved on the Healthy City goals they outlined at the 2003 Forum
(see below). To see the story in the Herald News about the Forum,

(Above) Fall River area youth attend a day-long Mayor's Youth Forum on May 17, 2003, at Bristol Community College. The speak-out, facilitated by Boston-based Teen Empowerment, provided an opportunity for all Fall River youth to share their ideas about how to improve their quality of life in Fall River. Youth voiced their issues to City officials, including Mayor Edward Lambert, Superintendent Richard Pavao, Police Chief John Souza, Chamber of Commerce President Peter Kortright, MCAS Pathways to Success Specialist Aimee Bronhard and First Assistant Clerk Magistrate Cheryl Blackburn. Youth were urged to get involved in efforts to help make the changes they recommended as part of the Healthy Fall River Initiative.
