Youth led activities identify young people who are respected by their peers, trains them to recognize when peers are struggling, and teaches them to reach out to those peers and refer them to the appropriate adults and services. It can be a sound investment through establishing meaningful youth involvement in community prevention efforts. Youth led prevention engages youth with these cornerstones: Peer-to-Peer, Community Service, and Positive Youth Development. This focus ensures that all youth grow up to become contributing adults.
