Youth Summit

A Howard County Youth Summit was held at Marriotts Ridge High School on April 27^th.  The Summit was sponsored by Howard County Recreation & Parks, The Locale Children’s Board, Howard County Connections, HCPSS, and the Columbia Association. Sponsoring organizations are those that have pledged funds or resources. The goal of the Youth Summit was to hear youth voice and empower young people in Howard County by listening to students’ issues and working with them to take action to improve these issues.

A Facebook page was created to keep the momentum of the Summit going: click here to access it!
