Athens Youth Commission Always Ready To Help

ATHENS-From public safety to painting, the members of the Athens Mayor’s Youth Commission learn about many aspects of the City of Athens. On Dec. 21, part of the Youth Commissioners went to Athens Fire and Rescue Station No. 1 and part of them went to High Cotton Arts.

At Station No. 1, they tried on turnout gear, checked out the fire truck, learned about the equipment and more. At High Cotton Arts, they painted with artist Debby Smith thanks to a donor who funded their art class.

Our hope is these students will continue to call Athens home, but if they don’t, we want them to be informed citizens who get involved in whatever community they choose as home.
