Census to be taken on homeless youth

Friday, Sept. 9, 2005 | 8:35 a.m.

Local nonprofits have partnered with research firm Strategic Solutions to recruit and train 250 volunteers for the Clark County homeless youth census set for Oct. 5.

Volunteers are expected to complete a one-hour training course prior to the October count and receive an assigned area that they will canvass to identify homeless individuals under 18.

In the second phase of the census project, Strategic Solutions will interview more than 200 homeless youth to gather information that will help local officials and providers understand how to best serve the growing population.

Training dates and times will vary to accommodate volunteer work and personal schedules. They are: 6 p.m., Sept. 20; 7 p.m., Sept. 21; 3 p.m Sept. 27 and 7 p.m., Sept. 28.

Interested citizens may call 835-1279 to participate in the homeless youth census, receive project instructions and sign up for one of the four training dates and times.
