For Parents and Guardians

Youth engagement opportunities hosted by Communities for Youth are geared to help give teens a voice and buy-in for actions taken by adults on their behalf. We also aim to promote well-being and positive, authentic connection for all teens that take part.

 

Teens that participate in in-person meetings, educational opportunities, and events are required to have a signed parent permission slip.
