Communities for Youth
Boise Initiative
Boise Schools, Central District Health, St. Luke’s Community Health and Engagement, the city of Boise Mayor’s office, parents, partners, and other community members have committed to being a Communities for Youth Regional Initiative. The initiative hopes to move youth mental health and well-being efforts upstream.
Boise is in their 4th year of conducting the Idaho Youth Well-Being Survey and their third year of being a Full Regional Initiative. Together, the Boise community is keeping the attention on building the best possible community for kids.
The Boise initiative is currently focused on increasing social connection for young people.
