FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - Fort Wayne Mayor Sharon Tucker’s Youth Engagement Council hosted a forum on youth violence Saturday.

Community members gathered at the Foellinger Theatre from 4 to 7:30 p.m. for the forum.

The forum featured:

youth-led conversations with community advocates, leaders, professionals;

panel discussions on community resources, prevention strategies, and solutions; and

vendors and food trucks.

The mayor says she hopes the forum empowers young people to take an active role in addressing violence in the community.

“I have a heart for young people and want to see them grow and succeed in a safe and healthy environment,” Tucker said.
