INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Dozens of families came out for the second Far Eastside Youth Anti-Gun Violence and Drugs Summit Friday afternoon hosted by the Pathway Resource Center.
One of the biggest draws for the summit was the graduation of 25 teens for the Training Youth for Success program, a monthlong job readiness program that teaches teens the basics they need to set a strong foundation for the future.
It’s a foundation that teens like Jamyah Gillard say will be remembered well past graduation day.
“It was amazing,” Gillard said. “I loved hearing my name get called up a lot.”

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) An Indianapolis City-County councilor hopes to curb crime through a series of youth summits.
La Keisha Jackson is a Democrat who represents District 14 on the far east side.
The district is bounded on the west by Post Road, on the east by Carroll Road, on the south by 21st Street and on the north by 46th Street.
Jackson said there is a lack of resources for young people in her area, and she’s working to change that, through the Far Eastside Youth Anti-Drugs and Gun Summit.
“I don’t think it’s up for them to figure this out; I think it’s up to us as a community, as a whole to help them. They need help,” said Jackson.
