About Us
If it’s good for the kids, it’s good for everybody!
YC2 works toward decreasing substance abuse and promoting healthy behaviors among Columbia’s youth to foster their positive development. In addition to substance abuse, YC2 addresses many other issues that impact youth: education, pregnancy, homelessness, violence, suicide, poverty, employment, and more. Over 70 organizations and individuals are represented on the Coalition, which also includes middle, junior high, and high school students.
YC2 utilizes a unique approach to working with youth. It’s called Positive Youth Development. This approach seek to provide all of the building blocks that youth need to develop. You can read more about Positive Youth Development and YC2′s approach here: http://wp.me/PKOVt-fn
