This crime prevention, community health fair, and youth summit will provide health education, services, and advocacy that will promote healthy behaviors.
The event will address a variety of public safety issues including gang activity, crime with homicide, drug and alcohol influences, and poor health habits. Included will be informative lectures, a youth/teen summit, crime reduction programs and outreach initiatives. Community partners will provide health access on-site with screenings and educational materials to increase awareness, promote health, and prevent violence. Additionally, prizes, raffles and refreshments will be provided.
Made possible through a grant from the Allegany Franciscan Ministry, this event is coordinated by Lincoln Park Community Center along with a planning committee of community partners such as VCOYA (Village Coalition of Youth Activities) and the Department of Juvenile Justice.
