NAACP coordinator asks Adams County to join $25,000 youth violence prevention task force
Summary
Thelma Newsome, speaking for the NAACP BUILD grant, asked Adams County supervisors to participate in a task force and youth conference funded by a $25,000 BUILD grant to address youth crime and prevention.
Thelma Newsome, identifying herself as an NAACP member and coordinator of the BUILD grant, told the board the county received a $25,000 BUILD grant in February to support programming aimed at reducing youth crime. "The grant was in the amount of $25,000," Newsome said, describing plans for stakeholder meetings, a youth conference, and a task force to coordinate local agencies, schools and law enforcement.
Board members responded with support and suggested outreach to motivational speakers, school personnel and neighboring jurisdictions; supervisors emphasized the need for county participation and coordination with city agencies. Newsome said a first task-force meeting will be scheduled in September and asked the board to respond when the task-force invitation is sent.
