There's going to be a meeting downtown, and it's one you shouldn't miss. Our Children Task Force, the town meeting-like forum seeks solutions to prevent violence and alienation in children, the reason the task force was formed in the first place. The quest is to create the best possible environment for nurturing the youngest members of the Portsmouth community. The task force has decided to go right to the heart of the matter to determine what the city needs.
Children are at the heart of any human community.
They are our hope, our inspiration to be the best community we can be. As they grow up, they need to know this, to see this by the actions of the community toward them. They need to feel all corners of the community care what happens to them. So it's time for everyone to speak up. Teens that hang out in Market Square, or at the skateboard park, or at the beach, or mostly nowhere are encouraged to give their input.
