Archie J. Trader III: Annapolis United delivering positive direction for our youth

Often in Annapolis, after a shooting and other unfortunate episode of juvenile crime, parents and the public ask, “What is the city doing to stem the tide of violence?” It is a reasonable question, and one that we at the Annapolis Recreation and Parks Department are prepared to answer. Under a unique cross-departmental collaboration known as Annapolis United, city agencies are coming together to provide meaningful diversions for young people. Under the initiative, youth recreation programs are developed and provided by Annapolis Recreation and Parks.
