Youth Coalition, Launching 2026

​

San Juan County Partnership is launching a youth coalition in 2026, a youth-led leadership group built around the idea that young people are the best experts on what young people need.

 

Structured like a club and facilitated by caring adults, the coalition will bring teens together for leadership development, prevention programming and discussion, and creative work in the arts and theater. Members will build skills, learn about risk factors affecting young people in our community, and shape the direction of the group themselves.

 

Above all, the coalition is meant to be a safe place: somewhere teens can gather, talk openly, and take part in activities that leave them feeling supported, informed, and secure in their own community.

 

We are currently recruiting teens to join. If you or a young person you know is interested in being part of this from the beginning, we would love to hear from you
