About 100 students attended a recent youth forum in Southold to discuss issues like intolerance, bullying, and substance abuse. 

Southold School District social worker Jessica Santiago and the North Fork Alliance organized the March 7 event, titled “Southold Town Youth Forum: Tolerance and Acceptance.” The meeting was also sponsored by the Students Against Destructive Decisions Club (SADD) and the Southold Public Library.

It was held at Founder’s Landing in Southold. Students from Southold, Greenport and Mattituck school districts were asked to submit their ideas about how to improved the community’s quality of life. Organizers said those results will be published soon.
