The DuPage County Health Department is looking for high school students who live in Addison to participate in Community YouthMapping (CYM). That concept involves young people gathering information in a given area and documenting “places to go and things to do.” Participants will attend an orientation and training sessions and will then canvass Addison in search of traditional and nontraditional programs, services, opportunities and caring adults available to them and their peers. The program involves a commitment from March 25 to April 15 and offers a $500 stipend. For details, go to http://tinyurl.com/jh9her8.
