From the beginning, youth engagement and leadership has been a strategy in making public health change at the local, regional, state and national level.  In keeping with that tradition, The California Endowment has recognized the importance of youth voice and youth culture in accomplishing their mission.  

To that end, TCE has supported the development of several opportunities for youth to contribute to statewide efforts within BHC and The Endowment including:

• President's Youth Council
• BHC Statewide Steering Committee for Youth Leadership
• BHC Youth Coordinator Network

BHC/BMOC Youth/Adult Ally Retreat

For 3 days in February youth and adult allies gathered in Long Beach for a retreat to focus on building new relationships, building skills and learning about each others' work.  The result was not only new bonds but suggestions for new directions in youth leadership and opportunities to support each other across sites.  For materials from this retreat visit the Youth Leadership Document Library.

UPCOMING ACTIVITIES
