Youth Taking Action

The youth action projects will enhance the capacities of schools and communities to decrease risk factors and increase protective factors, relating to their specific youth-identified issues, by developing and disseminating information, tools and resources. A youth leadership training institute component will include sessions that train students to design and deliver workshops to their peers; the objective being to engage students in discussion and action around safe and caring issues. Youth will also participate in gathering research data from their peers and evaluate the effectiveness of youth-led initiatives.
