205 students from the 6th grade showed up to the summit from different schools in the area. The purpose of this summit was to increase youth connectedness within Del Norte and Tribal Lands (DNATL) to protective factors and healthy resources that are accessible to them and their friends and families.
Even though they do not choose this role, youth are often the first responders to tough times. Your organization may serve their family and friends. They need to know about your organization because they are the connectors to hope, help and strength.
We want to ensure that during the tough times youth know there are Strengths and Supports all around them. We want youth to know that they and their families are included and belong in every corner and culture of Del Norte and Tribal Lands. We want the youth to know that they are Agents of Change, and can use their art, their voice, their social media to create the change they want to see. We want to empower a well-world, and we believe that begins with making our youth aware of the wellness resources available to them in their community.
