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, adolescents and teens.
By ensuring that each sector of the community realizes the benefits of developmental assets experienced by our youth, we are building a healthier community with healthier youth. These developmental assets are building blocks young people need to become healthy, principled and caring adults. Research has shown the more developmental assets a young person experiences in their life the more likely they are to succeed and the less likely they are to engage in at-risk behaviors.
