Columbia strengthens community ties by connecting families with youth summer programs

Columbia, South Carolina – The City of Columbia is actively compiling the annual Youth Services Guide by obtaining data from youth groups and community organizations as summer draws near. Essential for parents and guardians, this guide lists a range of summer events and activities accessible to young people living in Richland County.

“We are excited to offer this important information guide to parents and guardians again this year.  Our youth are our most precious resource and we must provide them with positive programs and activities.” City Councilwoman Tina Herbert said.
