Dayton, OH – In 2006, LEAD received commitments from two Dayton Commissioners to hire a Youth Coordinator. They also agreed to direct the Youth Coordinator to meet with LEAD within 30 days of being hired and to regularly report back on progress being made. The new citywide Youth Coordinator started in May 2006 and is now responsible for compiling and marketing a comprehensive list of out-of-school programs and services for youth, identifying programs that include learning, conflict resolution, and development of social skills, soliciting input from youth regarding programs they find appealing, and developing criteria to evaluate the quality of programs.
