Youth Program in Crisfield Looks for Temporary Quarters

It Takes A Village Youth Program website

The It Takes A Village Youth Program in Crisfield is looking for a temporary home.

It is vacating its quarters in the former H. DeWayne Whittington Primary School this month that will be demolished and rebuilt in the fall after it was hit by waters from Hurricane Sandy.

The temporary site must be in Crisfield under the terms of grant funding restrictions.

A meeting is scheduled with the Somerset County Commissioners sometime this week to see if they can help with finding temporary quarters as well as getting an update on the facilities.

The program is a place that community residents say is important for students in Somerset County which has the highest percentage of Eastern Shore students living in poverty.
