The leaders of the Beacon of Hope Project in Oskaloosa are asking for community youth to provide their input.

The Beacon of Hope Project was announced recently as a gathering place for area youth at 121 North Market St in Oskaloosa. Building owner Keven Hempel says that the decision has been made to open up an opportunity for the youth of Oskaloosa and surrounding towns to have a say in designing the inside of the building. This input will contribute to the finishing of the design phase of part of the building. 

Oskaloosa area youth are invited to Penn Central Mall at 5pm this evening to discuss the project.
