In response to the letter about nothing for teens to do in
Hollister.
I agree that youth activities are limited. Having been a youth
leader for seven years, I also know that there are youth group
meetings held at local churches every night of the week. The
dedicated youth pastors and leaders try very hard to have fun,
inexpensive activities for youths to participate in. At the same
time, these youths learn leadership skills that will enhance their
future and they learn that they are loved for who they are and not
for what they are.
