West Central Mountains Communities to Become C4Y Regional Initiatives

Communities for Youth (C4Y) and the West Central Mountains Youth Advocacy Coalition (YAC) are excited to announce the launch of five new C4Y Regional Initiatives in Cascade, Cambridge (Tri-Valley), Council, McCall-Donnelly, and New Meadows (Meadows Valley). In becoming C4Y regional initiatives, these communities have committed to improving youth well-being by utilizing upstream prevention and C4Y's data-driven community engagement model.

Communities for Youth (C4Y's) Data-Driven Community Engagement Model

Building off the strengths and history of both C4Y and YAC, these five new regional initiatives will have access to a variety of capacity building, technical assistance, and other supports that assist them in building off local strengths and addressing areas of need related to upstream prevention. Each regional initiative will also support a local "Community Lead" position to plan and implement solutions right sized for each community.

Announcements about Community Leads and upcoming focus areas for each community will be made on the YAC website. Questions about the new partnership can be directed to communities4youth@gmail.com
