Healthy Communities • Healthy Youth
Healthy Communities • Healthy Youth is a community partnership created in Hopewell Valley 25 years ago. It is a unique approach that empowers the community to promote the positive development of its children and teens.
By bringing various community sectors together and to learn the benefits of developmental assets experienced by youth, we are building a healthier community and healthier youth. These developmental assets are 40 positive supports and strengths young people need to succeed. Research consistently shows that young people from all backgrounds do better when they have a strong foundation of these strengths in their lives and in addition are less likely to engage in at-risk behaviors.
