DENVER — Mayor Mike Johnston announced a new set of initiatives Monday to help prevent youth violence over the summer.
Johnston announced the new initiatives at a news conference alongside Denver Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Alex Marrero. “We invite every employer in the city who might have a need for one additional employee over the summer and wants to train, recruit a young person,” Johnston said. “We need every employer in the city to step up and say, ‘I want to hire a Denver young person.’”
The mayor also announced a new $500,000 grant program to help community organizations provide additional summer activities and programming.“Unfortunately, I've seen so much of it because I actually have been dealing with the gangs,” said Demmer.“I think that's the key word: Option. What options do they have?” said Demmer.
