Youth Advocates for Community Health
The Youth Advocates for Community Health (YACH) process creates youth-adult partnerships that allows youth to lead and generate energy among their peers (and adults) to improve the health in their community in ways that matter to them.
Extension provides a guidebook filled with resources for planning a youth-led community health project. The projects focus on making the healthy choice the easy choice in a community. You will be able to guide a youth-led project through the five steps of action:
- Choose your Battle – assess the health in your community and narrow down to one area of focus
- Raise Awareness – speak with community partners to learn about their work and build support
- Make your action plan- develop a plan for your project
- Implement your plan – follow the action plan to complete the project
- Evaluate your plan – assess your project and how you want to move forward
