Mission:
Elevate Youth California is a statewide program addressing substance use disorder by investing in youth leadership and civic engagement for youth of color and 2S/LGBTQ+ youth ages 12 to 26 living in communities disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs.
Vision:
All California youth should have equitable opportunities to be leaders and change agents in their community.
At TYFS,
we believe that youth engagement is a core tenet of successful primary prevention. Whether through peer leadership, interactive workshops, or youth advisory groups, involving and elevating the efforts of young people enhances relevance and increases impact. Connecting youth voices to substance use prevention also fosters empowerment and ownership of healthier choices. By authentically committing to youth-centric prevention efforts, organizations can build successful programming.
