PV High Student, TEDx Speaker, Will Get a WPAF Scholarship Monday

Pajaro Valley High School senior Jonathan Fry and other seniors will bid a fond farewell to the Watsonville Youth City Council during the group's final meeting Monday. 

Fry will also accept Watsonville Police Assistance Fun scholarship at the meeting for leading the effort to reduce youth violence in the community.

He gave a speech at the May 19 TEDx Youth event in Watsonville. Fry, a victim of gang violence, has been an outspoken advocate for ending violence and urges his peers to unite. Watch the video above. 

The Register Pajaronian had a story wrapping up the first year of the Youth Council in Saturday's paper, which Police Chief Manny Solano, who is on the WPAF board, sent out in an email Saturday along with the link to Fry's speech.
