As the city prepares for the July 4 weekend, one of Mayor Brandon Johnson's focuses continues to be on how to better engage youth as a way to prevent violence.
Between now and Friday morning, Vondale Singleton said the Comer Youth Center will be transformed to host the 7th Annual Born 2 Win youth mentoring conference.
After chaotic and destructive youth takeovers downtown, including a one at the Bean last summer that killed a young man in Singleton's program, he and others have come up with a plan called Operation Trend that they want to share with Johnson to address the problem. This afternoon Mayor Johnson addressed a city-lead My Chi/My Future conference, reiterating his commitment to investing in jobs for youth and engaging with them as part of his anti-violence plan.
In a speech where he got fired up at times, Johnson stressed the need for city and business led investments to help transform communities and make Chicago safer.
