Building Youth Voice
The Youth Advocates for Community Health (YACH) initiative creates youth-adult partnerships that allows youth to lead and generate energy among their peers (and adults) to improve the health in their community in ways that matter to them.
Extension provides a YACH guidebook filled with resources for planning a youth-led project through the five steps of action:
-
- Choose your Battle – assess the health in your community and narrow down to one area of focus
-
- Raise Awareness – speak with community partners to learn about their work and build support
-
- Make your action plan- develop a plan for your project
-
- Implement your plan – follow the action plan to complete the project
-
- Evaluate your plan – assess your project and how you want to move forward
In Rock County. . . Youth Advocates for Community Health is only the beginning!
