Adult Friends for Youth event to probe violence issues

Advertiser Staff

Adult Friends for Youth plans to hold an assembly tomorrow on the grounds of the State Capitol and Honolulu Hale to address issues tied to violence in schools and the community.

About 150 youths who have taken part in the group's programs will discuss solutions to violence-related issues. Many of the youths have overcome problems ranging from drug issues and dysfunctional families to gang affiliation and violent behaviors.

Adult Friends for Youth has for two decades endeavored to help youth involved in violent and dangerous behaviors to untangle themselves from negative and anti-social behaviors.

The group's assembly is set for 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
