 Jefferson County recognized as 100 Best Communities in 2008 for Young People in the US. Children are one third of our population and all of our future. The 100 Best Communities for Young People is an annual competition which recognizes outstanding community-wide efforts that improve the well-being of youth. The competition also inspires other localities to take action to ensure they're meeting the challenges facing their young people. The 100 Best competiton asks communities across the country to assess their challenges and work effectively together for young people, and share best practices. Opportunities/Jefferson County Delinquency Council was responsible for applying for this with the help of several other DPC members who contributed to the application process.
