Pittsburgh Escorts: Weed and Seed youth council sprouts in Wilkinsburg
August 12, 2010
By the time Weed and Seed coordinator Gayle Mitchell Hall kicked off the Aug. 4 forum, her introduction competed with a cacophony of chatter.
“We’re trying to have you tell us what you want, what you need, what your concerns are for the community,” she called out over the sea of voices.
But once the teens formed groups with adult leaders to discuss community needs and issues, they showed they were there to get down to business.
“We need more people to care, more people to be involved,” Kymi Ewing, 17, read from her group’s list.
“We need better education, more caring teachers, new books. …”
“Harder work! I want to be challenged,” added Melissa Portis, a 17-year-old Wilkinsburg High School student.
Issues ranging from community pools and beautification, to teen pregnancy and prostitution were raised during the forum, which was co-sponsored by the Allegheny County Department of Human Services.
