Mike talks with members of YORC — the Youth Outreach Recreational Committee, a new collaborative effort bringing together local organizations and community leaders to expand opportunities for young people. Guests John Teves, Sgt. Antonio Lazarine, Grace Tejas and Selena Madrid discuss how YORC grew from an idea to better connect the many youth programs already operating in Las Cruces.
They explore the importance of recreation, mentorship and positive relationships, along with efforts to give young people a direct voice in determining what their community needs. The conversation also looks at YORC’s partnership with the Las Cruces Police Department, plans for a centralized source of youth programs and resources, and the larger goal of breaking down barriers between organizations to build a stronger, safer community for local youth.
