Youth and Young Adults

Youths’ unique first-hand experiences provide them with the wisdom and insight to lead themselves and their peers.

As experts of their own experiences, young people should be empowered to share their lived and living experience and advocate for impactful, community-wide change. Youth can and do make a difference in their own and their peers’ lives.

The following resources offer support to youth leaders and change makers. You will find helpful information around topics such as advocacy, mental health, substance use and social media. Many resources were developed and reviewed by youth who care about their peers’ health and want to offer input to the adults who interact with them.
