Read more: Local

PORTALES, N.M. (AP) - New Mexico First is planning its first community town hall for young people.

The town hall, "Building Our Future," will bring together Roosevelt County high school juniors and seniors and area college students in Portales on April 9 to brainstorm.

Portales City Manager Debi Lee says it will give young people a chance to voice concerns and put forward their ideas for making the community better.

The meeting will develop recommendations for local policymakers.

The event is part of New Mexico First's Tomorrow's Leaders program, which enables teenagers to become active in public policy at a young age.

New Mexico First was founded more than 20 years ago to involve New Mexicans in setting public policy.
