Community research study projects are an important part of the program of City Club of Tacoma.  City Club proudly published its report for 2002, Youth at Risk - Improving the Odds, on March 6^th of that year.  A culmination of over one year's effort on the part of a 12-member team, this report "raises social, economic, and fiscal issues to be addressed in seeking solutions to the many problems posed by troubled youth in our midst."  This report has been successfully used as supporting documentation in grant applications for funding to initiate the new Pierce County Youth Resource Assessment Center.  This is something each City Club member can be very proud of.
