Following up on 13 hours spent hatching ideas to make Columbia more youth-friendly at the "Let's Talk, Columbia!" meeting in February, about 60 people attended last night's community action meeting to work on putting those ideas into practice.

At the event, sponsored by the Human Rights Commission, attendees met in small groups to discuss February's meeting, share their thoughts and brainstorm additional ideas. The ideas ranged from encouraging the Columbia City Council to meet with teens regularly to increasing support for existing youth programs.
