City of Burbank was recently named one of the top 100 communities in the nation fo
r young people. Burbank was the only city in Los Angeles County to receive this honor that was given out by America's Promise Alliance.
The Alliance has been conducting this contest for 3 years and it chose the winners from over 300 cities in the United States. Many factors contributed to the City's placement including the recently passed No Smoking Ordinance, YMCA's youth exercise and nutrition program and exercise programs offered at the elementary schools.
Through this recognition the Alliance hopes to recognize community based efforts to provide a safe and healthy environment for youth.
