High school students at Kent Roosevelt now have the opportunity to participate in the Youth-Led Prevention (YLP) program facilitated by Townhall ll. Youth-led programs provide a platform to effectively engage youth voice and youth action, equipping young people with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to impact their community. YLP programs engage young people in the community differently from volunteer work. Through the investigation of local data and community resources, young people gain a greater knowledge and understanding of community problems and the factors that contribute to these issues.
Both youth and the community benefit from the Youth-led programs. Individuals who participate in YLP develop strong leadership and civic skills. In addition, young people increase their confidence in their ability to influence change within their society, both as individuals and as members of a group. Communities also benefit from YLP. When young people are an integral part of the solution, they are more effective in creating change. Through a process of collaboration between youth and adult allies, community members begin to see youth as community assets. Neighborhoods that embrace Youth-Led Programs have young citizens who become more resilient and responsible adults.
If your child is interested in participating Youth-Led prevention, they can join us for a Welcome meeting on Monday, January 25th at 11 AM via Google Meets.
Please contact Tiffany Rittenour, Ohio Certified Prevention Specialist at Townhall ll by email: tiffanyr@townhall2.com with any questions regarding the Youth-Led Prevention program. https://meet.google.com/izc-aqrs-gxu
