Eugene seeks to create task force for troubled youth
The city needs to take a stronger hand in dealing with troubled teens and young adults, according to Councilmember Mathieu Eugene, who has introduced legislation to create a special task force to look into the issue.
Under Eugene’s bill, the city would put together a task force to study the challenges that are preventing young people from ages 16-24 from staying in school or finding jobs.
The task force will be composed of 25 members, including experts from the Department of Youth and Community Services and the Department of Education.
