INVEST IN YOUTH VALUES

EMPOWER RESIDENTS
To build resident capacity using training, educational tools and to create access that empowers residents to navigate conversations with decision makers and elected officials.

POSITION YOUTH TO BE LEADERS
Build a pathway for youth engagement that provides career development, opportunities for employment & resume building, and advocacy training.

DECREASE THE CRIMINALIZATION OF YOUTH
To build understanding at all levels, from residents to police to county, city and state institutions to prioritize holistic/positive youth development that positions youth to be at-promise, not at-risk, through systems change.

RECENTER ON MATRIARCHAL APPROACHES
To challenge patriarchy and constructs that disempower the ability to adequately advocate for youth.

INCLUSIVITY
We are committed to bringing an intergenerational and intersectional approach to all the work we do.
