Youths
 Caring about our youth by partnering with Malden High School to increase the number of teens we hire in our Summer Youth program as well as providing a healthy and safe place for them to socialize is another priority we've been working hard on. Building a teen center has long been a dream of mine as we must give our young people the opportunity to be in a safe environment at all times. The Task Force researching the possibility of building a Teen Center has completed its report of recommendations which can be found here. |
