Our vision… Communities where all young people flourish.
Our mission… To build healthy communities by training and equipping young people to lead change. Activating all sectors to work together towards an asset-building culture.
PURPOSE:
- To address and prevent specific problems faced by youth, and to advance education by providing programs, workshops and training on topics such as leadership, self-esteem, mental health, positive gender roles, employment assistance, and career coaching.
- To address and prevent problems faced by youth and their families by providing accessible online portals that provide resources, training, workshops, and links to community resources and experts in various fields to assist youth and their guardians/parents with issues they face.
- To carry out activities ancillary and incidental to the above charitable purposes.
We bring together expertise in education, mental health and business to give our approach balance and ensure that the whole community has representation.
Healthy Youth Network uses Search Institute’s Developmental Assets Framework to guide our work, focus our efforts and evaluate outcomes.
We follow Search Institute’s Developmental Relationship Framework to guide our interactions with youth and effectively engage them.
By embedding assets & relationships in young people’s lives, we improve mental health, reduce at-risk behaviour, and create better outcomes.
