Center for Youth Leadership members stood on Washington Street on New Year's Eve to urge people passing by to not look at personal issues but instead to "look at community issues that influence thel ives of a lot of families," a press release said. Members said resolutions could address community issues such as sexual harassment, dating violence, bullying, immigrant rights, mental health, child abuse and human trafficking.
