Community leaders, educators, policymakers, parents, and youth have been working for more than a year to launch Hopeful Empowered Youth, a collaborative effort to improve youth mental health and well-being in our region.

"So many times youth are brought in as an opinion, but then over-spoken by adults. So, actively involving youth in not only the planning but the implementation & working together with these adults is amazing & inspiring.” - Quinn Merriss / Soapbox Cincinnati “ soapboxmedia.com/features/hey-f…

Love that the Hopeful Empowered Youth logo was designed by the youth themselves. The new initiative centers young people in improving youth mental health. Kudos to bi3 & Interact for Health for their leadership on it! #PhilFWD24


To ensure youth voices are centered at Hopeful Empowered Youth, a team of 25 young people (of 150 applicants!) engaged in a 6-month paid fellowship to co-create the strategy. It’s great to hear from Amaya Boyd, a youth executive committee member at #PhilFWD24


There’s a difference between youth-focused work and youth-led work. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 - Amaya Boyd from Youth at the Center sharing lessons learned: value youth’s time, make their time valuable & be ready to listen. Hopeful Empowered Youth #PhilFWD24

“You’re not alone. There’s so many people in your life who are there to support, care about, and love you, as hard as it is to recognize in the moments that you’re struggling.” - Olive Weaver, HEY! Youth Fellow See the Spectrum News 1 OH story: spectrumnews1.com/oh/columbus/ne…
