There are several organizations and companies that host a great deal of activities and events throughout the summer. These activities range from skate-boarding to theatrical plays. The problem is that there is no adequate way to spread the word to the youth. Many will complain about the lack of things to do in the summer, but an underlining dilemma to this statement is outreach. We need to find a liaison between the youth and the opportunities for them. This sounds like a job for the YOUTH MEDIA PROJECT!
