Strengthening & promoting cities as centers of opportunity, leadership, and governance

Youth Master Planning

Youth master planning (YMP) is a process in which the community brings together various constituencies - including young people, the school district, the city, parents, businesses, and others - to engage in a process of gathering information and using information to establish a set of priorities for the community at large.  Based on those priorities, very specific action steps are established to improve the lives of children, young people, and families in that community.

This planning process helps create the foundation for an engagement of all groups working on youth-related issues - so they do more - and do it more strategically.
