Established in 2022 by PHAR intern alumna Asia Green the purpose of the PHAR Youth Program is to give our youth, living in lower-income homes the resources to empower themselves, their families and communities. Creating opportunities for youth to have a strong voice within their communities while helping them find their own unique positive paths to become healthy, well-rounded adults.
Concept: To bring diverse organizations into the public housing communities and connect youth who may have certain barriers preventing them from joining activities through the schools or other avenues.
Goal: To create and manage healthy, positive outlets for our youth, while keeping a strong partnership with local organizations within our community. We intend to focus on all public housing youth, 18 years and younger, providing them with various learning and social tools, while offering a diverse selection of outreach programming.
