Our Process
The Communities for Youth process brings communities together while empowering efforts with local data.
We understand that all communities have existing strengths and areas that could be improved when it comes to upstream prevention which is why asking young people about their experiences is such an important part of what we do.
We also know that to make a real impact, whole communities need to be involved in youth well-being efforts.
