About

This toolkit provides practical strategies, resources, and reflections from the field to enable the school-based/community health workforce to engage youth toward involvement in their health care and futures. It describes how health centers can work with youth to develop leadership skills and improve their participation. It also highlights the importance of parent and community support for youth engagement. It suggests using social media, newsletters, and media coverage to share successes and promote youth programs. The goal is to make young people active partners in their health care journey while building a supportive network around them for better outcomes.
