Attorney General activates new web site for youth

Attorney General Marc Dann introduced a new web site today -- www.ag4youth.ohio.gov -- for students in middle school, high school and college to have an open dialogue about concerns at their schools or campuses.

"Society today demands that we think in new and creative ways to engage our young people," Dann said. "The tragic shooting in Virginia is only the latest evidence of how we must reach out to our youth, talk to them, bring them into the discussion of what we want our future to be and this web site will be a portal for me to hear from them about their concerns."

The site also allows student groups to apply online for $2,000 grants to start programs designed to help their peers.

Dann also encouraged student journalists to send him articles about school issues.
