Teens rally around Cicero teen center sponsorship
Cicero Town Board agreed to sponsor the Northeast Youth Initiative teen center after it lost its home and sponsor this year. Since opening in 1999 the center offered a safe drug free space with games and computers and hosted events and service projects. Attendance averaged 14 to 16 teens daily this summer as officials praised the program and eyed a municipal youth bureau to extend services. The next step is renewing county funding by September 14 while teens receive credit for reducing youth misbehavior.
