THE KENTUCKY YOUTH CONFERENCE The Kentucky Youth Conference was begun in 1967 by former Attorney General Robert Matthews to seek among the young people of Kentucky the leadership necessary to curb Kentucky's juvenile delinquency problem . In 1966 Kentucky got, for the first time, a roughly accurate look at its juvenile delinquency problem. In that year, the Attorney General's Office, in cooperation with the Department of Child Welfare, developed a voluntary and uniform juvenile offense reporting system . They found the over-all picture bleak, showing little end in sight to the rising tide of juvenile crime in the state of Kentucky. The Kentucky Youth Conference was designed to do something about this problem. It is based on the theory that y oung people, if given the opportunity, can themselves develop solutions to the problem of juvenile delinquency; that their energy, insight, and imagination cannot be overlooked; and that they should seize the l eadership in dealing with this problem. These concepts of the Conference became a reality in August of 1967 and again in August of 1968 when more than 800 high school age people from a ll parts of Kentucky gathered at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond to ask themselves what they could do about juvenile crime in their local communities. Their discussions, s timulated by exce llent speakers, programs , and the most comprehensive data on juvenile crime available , sparked many ideas for local projects . Youth Conference delegates have organized a teen jury in Henderson; a three - county Central T een Council in northern Kentucky involving county judges and police judges ; a youth employm e nt servic e in Versailles which, in its first year of operation, found jobs for s ome e ighty young people in the area; a nd a Boyd County program which has involved pre-teen children of indigent parents in the area in picnics and horseback riding . Many such programs throughout the Commonwe alth have met with such great success , unprece d e nted c ommunity interes t a nd widespread s upport tha t the annual Conferen ce will now remain a perm a n e nt ins titution in Ke ntucky. l �Delegates to the Conference have been sponsored in the past by more than twenty thousand Kentuckians representing corporations, labor unions, civic clubs, schools, and church organizations. These groups, along with various other foundations and youth organizations interested in the development of Kentucky youth and the prevention of juvenile delinquency, lend financial support to the Conference efforts. The Kentucky Youth Conference is now sponsored by the privately financed, non-profit Kentucky Juvenile Delinquency Prevention and Youth Development Foundation of Louisville, Kentucky and has begun a Sustaining Member Program intended to broaden its financial base, while giving Kentuckians a chance to participate in its efforts in an important and essential way. Throughout the entire state businesses, organizations and individuals recognize and support the tremendous potential of the Kentucky Youth Conference, and of Kentucky young people, to mobilize the resources of the state in effective combat against juvenile delinquency and to explore new areas of constructive citizenship for the young.

Their discussions, stimulated by excellent speakers, programs, and the most compre- hensive data on juvenile crime available, sparked many ideas for local projects. Youth Conference delegates have organized a teen jury in Henderson; a three-county Central Teen Council in northern Kentucky involving county judges and police judges; a youth employ- ment service in Versailles which, in its first year of operation, found jobs for some eighty young people in the area; and a Boyd County program which has involved pre-teen children of indigent parents in the area in picnics and horseback riding, Many such programs throughout the Commonwealth have met with such great success, unprecedented community interest and widespread support that the annual Conference will now remain a permanent institution in Kentucky. Delegates to the Conference have been sponsored in the past by more than twenty thousand Kentuckians representing corporations, labor unions, civic clubs, schools, and church organizations.

RICE IIT Mr. Dan Sweat Chief Administrative Officer City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Re: Atlanta Children and Youth Services Council Dear Dan: I appreciate the time which you and George Berry took to sit down and discuss the activities of the Youth Council. I want you to have a summary of the conclusions as a result of the meeting and which I will convey to Lewis Bankins, the Acting Director of the Council, as well as to the permanent Director of the Council when he is named. First, I concluded that the supervision of the Executive Director, the initiation of Council activities, and the approval of policies and programs suggested by the Director would continue to come from the Board of Directors of the Council. Second, I concluded that the Executive Director of the Council should be also subject to the direction and supervision of the Mayor's Chief of Staff and should attend staff meetings of Mayor Office personnel and keep the Chief Administrator in the Mayor's Office apprised of what the Council is doing as well as being available and subject to the supervision and direction of that person to do special tasks assigned by him in the area of children and youth. Iam not clear how this will be shown on the organization charts, but Ido know that working relationships are more important than organizational lines of responsibility. Il would hope that the result would be that you would gain a valuable assistant and the Council would gain a valuable affiliation. Please let me know if you object to my instructing Lewis Wlnkins or his successor on the basis of these conclusions.

OPEN LETTER TO MAYORS Last year, more than 675,000 youths chose not to stay in school. They joined another two million dropouts already in the youth population, nearly half of whom were unemployed. One mayor of a large city is mailing personal letters to 3,000 dropouts or potential dropouts in his com- munity this summer, urging them to return to school. The letter is being followed by an advertising campaign and personal visits to the young people by community volunteers. You can help by focusing community attention on the subject, whether through proclamation, press release, personal letter, or other means. Employers should be encouraged to offer part-time employment to those youth who need it to stay in school. You may wish to formulate special community efforts to locate part-time work in city agencies. Thank you for your assistance.
