Jeffco CTC's Youth Town Hall Planning Session is going strong!

We are really excited to share that we had 20 youth attend the Kick Off Meeting!

The group spent time getting to know each other; learning about Jeffco CTC, coalitions, and the Youth Town Hall; deciding dates and times for the event; and brainstorming topics.

Stay tuned for more updates including ways we may need additional adult support for the event.

Data Corner

Jefferson County Youth of Color Experience Mistreatment

According to the 2023 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, Jefferson County youth of color are more likely to report being treated badly or unfairly in school because of their race or ethnicity. 

Do you know a young person of color? Are they feeling down, stressed, or overwhelmed? They can access help through The Steve Fund, an organization dedicated to supporting the mental health and emotional well-being of young people of color. They can text “STEVE” to 741741 and a live, trained Crisis Counselor will respond.
