HONOLULU (AP) – Honolulu is being recognized one of the 100 best communities for young people.
Mayor Peter Carlisle will be presented an award on behalf of the city on Thursday, recognizing the distinction by the America’s Promise Alliance.
The competition recognizes communities across the country that focus on reducing high school dropout rates and creating brighter futures for young people.
Carlisle says the national recognition highlights Honolulu’s work to making a difference in the lives of the city’s young people.
Honolulu also won the award in 2006, 2008 and 2010.
