Vacaville REACH coalition holds town hall meeting

Vacaville Youth Roundtable REACH Coalition

In order to inform the community of the results from our community assessment and receive ideas for strategies for our implementation plan, the Vacaville REACH Coalition held a town hall meeting on July 15 at the Ulatis Cultural Center. Approximately 50 youth and adults participated in our town hall meeting.

The meeting began with a short PowerPoint presentation, which focused on four main topics: neighborhood safety, bike-trail safety, community involvement and youth-adult relationships. The audience participated in a brainstorming session to recommend ideas on what we can do for the community. After the recommendations were made, we voted on the top three solutions, which were: Resources (mentor program, volunteer, etc.), Youth Council, and Bike Path Markers. Overall the town hall meeting was a great way for the community to come together and take action!

The Vacaville Youth Roundtable REACH Coalition is a REACH Community Action coalition.
