in their communities and schools, Charlotte will be meeting with young leaders

This event is part of
Charlotte’s ongoing effort to engage young people as partners in confronting
the challenging issues they face such as violence, gangs, and the lack of vocational and
educational opportunities.
Through
this kind of direct communication and partnership with
local youth, the Richie Administration plans to set a new course for Boston's
neighborhoods that is based on what they can contribute to creating a more
peaceful and productive community.
