Council hears overview of "It Takes a Village" summer youth program; sessions Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning in June
Summary
Kenneth Payne described the fifth-year "It Takes a Village" summer youth program: two weekly sessions (Tuesdays and Thursdays), counseling partners, community partners on Thursdays, recreational evening activities and an eight-week schedule beginning in June with a concluding outing to Hurricane Bay in Louisville.
Councilmember Morton asked for details about the "It Takes a Village" summer youth program (agenda item B), and Kenneth Payne described the program's structure and goals.
Payne said this is the program's fifth year and that sessions run Tuesdays and Thursdays for about eight weeks beginning in June. On Tuesdays the morning includes group counseling conducted by the Andrews brothers focused on youth mental-health topics and coping; the afternoon and evening include recreational outings such as Malibu Jack's or other venues. On Thursdays the program brings in community partners to talk about skills and job opportunities and then offers another evening activity. Payne said the program typically ends in July with a final trip to Hurricane Bay in Louisville.
The presentation was informational; no formal action or budget detail was included in the work session minutes.
