A Conversation About Youth Safety and Prevention

Organizers want to hear directly from the community about the challenges facing young people, available resources and gaps in services. The event announcement connects the discussion with broader conversations about large teen gatherings, youth curfews and community safety.

Discussion topics include:

• The most pressing needs facing Wake County youth.
• Factors that may contribute to harmful behavior.
• Gaps in youth activities, services and prevention programs.
• Ways families, schools, businesses and community organizations can work together.
• Building positive relationships between young people and the broader community. 

Young People’s Voices Are Welcome

Young people are encouraged to share their experiences alongside adults who live, work and serve in Wake County. Organizers say the feedback will help inform the council’s understanding of community needs and strengthen juvenile crime prevention efforts.

For residents concerned about youth violence in Raleigh, the session offers an opportunity to contribute ideas for safer communities and more positive opportunities for young people.
