Accelerated youth leadership in prevention

We’ve seen what can happen when young people step into leadership roles in social justice movements. That’s why we’ve been hosting young organizer circles where 14- to 22-year-olds: Inspire each other and connect with peers, leaders, and opportunities Gain skills and knowledge to advance racial justice and health equity Re-imagine intergenerational partnerships where there is true collaboration and power-sharing with young people. PI spotlighted the work of young prevention leaders by co-creating a social media video with youth leaders in Albuquerque (MC ID: How we’re staying connected) and helping youth leaders in San Diego place newspaper op-eds (Commentary: We are three young black men living in City Heights. This is why we protest.) This work was supported by the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, the Langeloth Foundation, Movember, and the Well Being Trust.
