Youth Planning And Development Participates In Anti-violence Radio Campaign

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VA – The Chesterfield County Youth Planning and Development Department has joined a regional campaign to educate youths about violence. The campaign is called Solutions. It enables young people to write their own public service announcements that encourage peers to practice healthy behaviors and avoid violence. The messages have been recorded and are being aired on local radio stations and during morning announcements at Chesterfield County middle and high schools. Chesterfield County youths who wrote and recorded PSAs are: Stephen Quinn and Andrew Bennett from Cosby High School, and Kathleen Kraines from Clover Hill High. Jess-Mara Jordan from James River High School also helped record the PSAs. The initiative is being coordinated by a host of local human-service organizations, coalitions and youth organizations. All are part of the Greater Richmond Area Coalition For the Prevention of Youth Violence. The PSAs will run through the end of the school year in June.
