Youth Opportunity
Zone

The Youth Opportunity Zone initiative works for the betterment of the youth in our community. We emphasize youth leadership within our committee, as they have an invaluable perspective on the realities that impact equitable youth health.

What We're Working On

Teen Job Fair

We hosted a Teen Job and Volunteer Fair! Organizations were looking for summer volunteers and staff. Workshops on job readiness were held throughout. The topics included resume and interview prep and what to do once you have a job.
