YOUTH 
ELEVATION
CAMPAIGN

Comms Core created a civic engagement campaign known as the Youth Elevation Campaign. The YEC aims to reach out to youth with community and relationship building plus resources to prevent violence and strengthen the community.

‘APVs Comms Core Team is made up of youth ranging from 17 to 22 years of age, and thought, "If anyone can reach the youth, wouldn't it be other youth?”.

Key objectives discussed among the team when discussing how to bridge violence within youth were; equitable mental health resources, aid in finding employment, and trusted outlets to speak to outside of school and home. ‘APVs Comms Core will now be planning youth community-building activities at a local high school, East Palo Alto Academy.
