Greensboro city leaders are preparing to discuss a potential youth curfew after recent violence involving teenagers, including a shooting that left nine people hurt.

At a youth town hall held at police headquarters, teens pushed city staff and police to tackle the root of the violence first, saying disputes start over social media and a lack of positive outlets. The first monthly town hall targeted young people ages 14 to 24, giving them a direct platform to speak to leaders and police, and the city plans to use the concerns to build a 90-day action plan to curb youth violence. Jeremiah Jett, the city's youth engagement director, said being young and not feeling safe at the same time is a really big problem. A Greensboro City Council committee is set to discuss a teen curfew Thursday at 2 p.m., though the council is not expected to make a final decision at that meeting.

Teen advocates are urging the city to create activities and community mentorship opportunities alongside any restrictions.
