Major systemic issues outlined in the Youth Master Plan, of which youth-centered solutions to address them have been developed, include child and family poverty, mental health and wellness, disconnection from school and workforce, and more.
The event will take place online via Zoom and is facilitated by the CYPB’s Youth Advisory Board, a group of young New Orleanians ages 14 to 24 who have helped guide the development of the Youth Master Plan. They are now tasked with creating a youth development-focused, results-oriented New Orleans through collective action and implementation of the Youth Master Plan.
