Help Shape Youth Opportunities in Athens
The Clarke County School District and the Athens-Clarke County Unified Government are currently exploring opportunities to collaborate and expand impactful programs for youth in Athens. Both agencies believe that increasing youth development opportunities locally will further help meet the basic physical, developmental, and social needs of our children and teens, which will help them build the skills needed to become successful adults. Some examples include: Job training, athletic fields and courts, community and youth centers, mentorship, libraries, college access, career exploration programs, workforce development, and special programs.
If you believe any of these ideas should be further explored, please list them, and tell us why. Do you have other ideas? Please list them. We want to know! Click here to submit the survey. Don't wait: Survey closes at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, August 17.
