Lincoln County teenagers participated in a workshop last Friday to help find creative solutions for issues such as underage drinking, bullying and homelessness, at the Elohim Camp and Retreat Center. The workshop, led by Seeds Training and hosted by Lincoln County Unite for Youth, focused on helping teens identify community problems as well as finding ways to creatively solve those issues.
