Macon-Bibb County will hold a forum for youth ages 8-20 on Saturday, February 28 from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. in Commission Chambers at Government Center (700 Poplar Street). The forum is part of the Macon-Bibb’s participation in the White House’s My Brother’s Keeper initiative and is being hosted by the Mayor’s Office, Commissioners Tillman and Watkins, and the local Strong Cities, Strong Communities team.

The day will start with an overview of My Brother’s Keeper, its goals nationally, and how it could be implemented in Macon-Bibb County. Discussions will then be held so the youth can let Macon-Bibb know what issues they face, what they need to be successful, and how they think they can help improve their community. Responses will be used along with information gathered through previous meetings with community groups and stakeholders about needs and resources to develop a local action plan.
