Building a Courageous Community in which All Youth Can Succeed
Get Involved!
Citywide Youth Coalition is building a courageous community in which ALL youth can succeed. Citywide Youth Coalition cannot survive and grow without your participation. Now, more than ever, it is vital for Citywide Youth Coalition to reach as many people as possible. Join the discussion:
CWYC hosts an email-based community in which everyone can post information, events and questions as it relates to youth issues and youth work in our community. Sign up here.
Find new partners:
Come to a monthly coalition meeting, which offers regular speakers and an opportunity to network with a youth-oriented learning community. Get the meeting schedule and details here.
Take action:
CWYC facilitates several workgroups and event planning teams to do the kind of work that individual organizations can't achieve. These team meetings are open to the public
and new ideas and energy are always welcome. Here are results we're committed to:
Family Involvement: supporting families with information and access to services, supports and opportunities for their children and youth.
Youth Success: employment opportunities,
career paths, service learning and positive youth development so that youth have the
sense that they will succeed in life.
Building community: community event planning that promotes positive youth development and expanding the circle of people who care about young people.
Contact us if you would like more information. The schedule of upcoming meetings is listed below. All of these meetings are open to the public. New ideas and energy are always welcome!
