Mayor Mike McGinn first announced the formation of the Youth & Families Initiative–with the goal to “identify challenges youth and families face and to collectively mobilize towards solutions so that all children in Seattle can succeed”–during his inaugural address. After postponing the public meeting last month, the Mayor will join El Centro de la Raza Executive Director Estela Ortega to talk about the initiative at a community caucus tonight, Monday, May 3 at Ballard High School Library (1418 NW 65th St.) from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
The Mayor hopes these community town hall meetings will help shape his agenda on issues affecting youth and families from a child’s birth to their successful career track. Here is more information about the Youth & Families Initiative.
