Phase 1: Solutions

Phase 1 of the Youth Master Plan includes cross-sector solutions. As part of Phase 1, working groups gathered over four weekly sessions to create solutions that address the unmet needs of children and youth, from birth to 24. Over 80 participants representing 18 sectors split up to focus on five age groups, from birth to 24. They focused on six youth master plan areas of focus. 

 

Key Takeaways

The Youth Master Plan lays out 30 solutions within six Youth Master Plan areas and centers on five developmental stages from birth to 24, including the below:

  • Health and Wellbeing

  • Youth Voice

  • Learning

  • Safety & Justice

  • Space & Place

  • Economic Stability

These solutions were developed by cross-generational, cross-sector working groups. They seek to direct city-wide actors and resources to address the issues as laid out in the plan, to meet our goals, and to uplift the lives of our city’s youth and their families today, throughout the next ten years of this plan, and far into our city’s future.
