The Town of Dartmouth has long supported programs to assist the town's young people. Dartmouth formed a Youth Commission in 1968, and later created the position of Youth Advocate. Jennifer Cabral is the current Youth Advocate in Dartmouth, serving as a counselor and adviser to young people, leading support groups, and consulting with parents. This week on Townsquare Sunday, Jennifer talks about her work in Dartmouth, and offers details about an ongoing fundraiser the Youth Commission is involved with.

Townsquare Sunday with Jim Phillips can be heard each Sunday at 6 a.m. on WBSM 1420 and WBSM.com. Townsquare Sunday is a weekly public affairs program highlighting non-profits and community organizations in the Greater New Bedford area.
