Youth
Consulting

Where youth professionals actively shape national youth well-being efforts.
Program Overview

Youth Professionals

Our initiative brought together a select group of seven talented youth alumni who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of young people.

Passionate Partnerships:

We partnered with two dynamic organizations, Going Digital Behavioral Health and Digital Harbor Foundation, who share our commitment to amplifying youth voices and integrating them into their work.

Collaborative Learning:

Over the course of a 3-month program, our participants engaged in a series of workshops designed to foster collaboration and co-creation.

Teamwork:

Our youth professionals were divided into two teams, each working closely with one of our partner organizations. Together, they worked to influence and shape the direction of projects, ensuring youth voices were at the forefront of innovation.
