Jim Jones, Virginia Department of Corrections expert on delinquency prevention and youth services, will be the guest speaker at the Rappahannock County Task Force on Youth’s meeting set for Monday, October 29.

The Rappahannock Task Force, a group of local citizens and agency professionals, has been working since last March on addressing the needs of county youngsters. The Task Force has collected information with surveys and interviews to find out what services and programs are available and will use this data to develop a plan to increase opportunities and provide a more positive environment for youth in Rappahannock County.
Anyone interested in what the Task Force is doing and why is encouraged to attend this meeting, scheduled for 3:30 p.m. at the Washington Baptist Church. Volunteers willing to join the effort in solving youth problems are also welcome.
