Teen Task Force is a collaborative committee that includes schools, partner agencies and faith-based organizations who advise the Council concerning teen health, teen life style issues, and transition of youth into adulthood. The committee is committed to supporting students while at school, in the community, and on-line, and hosts this event for the purpose of being:

• Educational:   An opportunity to provide information on how to address bullying
• Memorable:    An event that inspires and makes a difference.
