  • The Youth Commission is a network of youth involving four youth from each of the nine schools within the county that addresses youth issues. In 2007, they Youth Commissioners produced and aired public service announcements about alcohol and drug abuse on two televesion stations. They also helped to facilitate a county-wide survey of issues and needs and participated in a forum discussion about the results. Past activities include: the sponsorship, planning and carrying out of the 5th annual Martin Luther King Day "Teach-in" for over 500 eighth graders from 8 schools in the county and upgrading, staffing, and providing input into policies for a facility in La Crosse for a teen "drop-in" center. This group has also passed a uniform curfew ordinance for the county, helped build a skate park, conducted neighborhood surveys and written “Good Neighbor” articles.
