Par tners’ mission is to support Eagle County K-12 youth with the creation and implementation of an equitable and universal behavioral education plan consisting of evidence-based programs that align with state and national academic health standards, integrate positive youth development principles and strategies, and promote prevention and resiliency through a coalition of community-based service providers. The Par tners were convened in 2018-19 school year at the request of Eagle County School District to better serve local youth, reduce duplication of curriculum, and streamline program scheduling. Each agency delivers grade appropriate, evidence-based, administration-approved prevention programming including Bright Future Foundation with violence prevention and healthy relationships; Mountain Youth with substance use prevention, healthy decision making and coping skills; Red Ribbon Project with maturation and sexual health; and SpeakUp ReachOut with suicide prevention and mental health resources. EFEC provides administrative suppor t, school district liaison, and funding suppor t. Since 2019, EFEC has been able to secure $568,920 for coalition establishment and equity-focused program delivery. Coalition Core value: All youth should have equitable access to information, tools and resources that suppor t individual social and emotional health, and overall well-being. This focus allows Par tner programs to instill in youth an ability to identify their sense of individuality and create accepting environments that provide a sense of belonging and safety. Coalition approach: The Partners are committed to shared resource allocation, program cross-training, and evidence-based best practices to effectively and equitably serve the behavioral education (B.E.) needs of youth by enhancing what schools currently provide, fill gaps of vulnerability, and maximize impact and reach. To ensure this approach avoids program curricula duplication and fulfills state and national health standards, the Partners designed a flexible district-approved B.E. Curriculum Map that aligns with grade- level health standards and illustrates for administrators which Par tner program meets specific SEL standards per grade. The Par tners also created a district-approved Universal Evaluation tool to be distributed by school administration for tracking the impact of this approach while reducing the number of redundant student surveys through one combined tool. The Par tners are currently evolving to include out-of-school, youth serving organizations to provide continuity the SEL best practices and curriculum alignment. We have hired a Youth Advisor to include the youth perspective, align with the Youth Equity Stewardship initiative at ECS, and inform our work. Organization Background: Explain the original issue and/or oppor tunity the organization was founded to address, and how that may have changed over time: * DocuSign Envelope ID: 64491F88-F17B-4548-85A9-F4A1E8B2F489 7/31/23, 11:04 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNicVxNNsbXdGo5hWyy719KWapf…6/16 The B.E. Par tner programs deliver evidence-based curriculum that aligns with state comprehensive youth health standards per grade level. These programs are proven to suppor t youth resiliency and encourage the prevention of risky behaviors. Par tner organizations and programs include: Bright Future Foundation (BFF): Youth Violence Prevention Division utilizes One Love, designed to empower young people with the tools and resources they need to see the signs of healthy and unhealthy relationships and bring life-saving prevention education to their communities. This program change came about during 2022-23 and they reached 848 high school youth, approx. 60%. In the 2023-24 school year, they plan for a min 10% increase. Mountain Youth (MY): Since the 2018-19, MY serves an average of 1,573 youth per school year with prevention and intervention programs in grades 4-12 to reinforce skills, encouraging healthy behaviors through various stages of development. Programs include Life Skills and Project Aler t, and for youth ready to quit or reduce substance use, Prime for Life. MY Programs help students develop self-control and communication skills, resist peer pressure, improve decision-making strategies, and develop motivation to abstain from or reduce substance use. In 2023-24, they expect to serve approx. 1,250 elementary and middle school youth as ECS transitions to delivering substance use and prevention programs in-house. Red Ribbon Project (RRP): Facilitates Maturation programs for 5-8 grade, and sexual health programs during required health elective in 9th grade. The ¡CUÍDATE! (“Take Care of Yourself”) program is a teen pregnancy prevention program delivered to all students. This program has proven a reduction in teen births by 79% locally over a ten year period. As ECS brings maturation and sexual health programming in-house, expectations are hard to predict. Speak Up Reach Out: Delivers the highly effective Signs of Suicide (SOS) program to approximately 3,500 youth in grades 5-12. They anticipate to reach this consistent number of youth again in 2023-24. This evidence-based program has been shown to reduce suicide, suicide attempts, and ideation in youth. EFEC will continue to serve as an administrative par tner to provide collaborative coordination and facilitation as Partner programs continue to evolve to fit the needs of our schools and community. EFEC will also continue to employ a par t time Youth Advisor position within our coalition structure. This Youth Advisor will continue to manage a process for collecting feedback from youth advocates. The Advisor connects with existing youth programs, recruits a consistent group of youth representatives, and coordinates a youth initiative that informs and evolves the Par tners’ approach to program delivery. In addition to building trusting relationships with the youth cohort, par ticipants are offered an incentive, creating value, accountability and engagement in our work. Current Projects:  Provide a brief description of the organization’s current projects/programs.  Include population and numbers served, as well as expected results: * DocuSign Envelope ID: 64491F88-F17B-4548-85A9-F4A1E8B2F489 7/31/23, 11:04 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNicVxNNsbXdGo5hWyy719KWapf…7/16 1998 – 2023 Schools in Eagle County rely on community agencies to supplement essential wrap-around services for social-emotional and behavioral learning. The root cause of this dependency dates back to the mid-1980s when state legislation caused Colorado’s per-student funding to decline to one of the worst in the nation, ranking in the bottom ten of United States. In 2000, rural education funding made another radical decline as budget stabilization tactics took funds from rural districts to serve metropolitan areas. In 2001, ECSD lost more than 90 critical in-school staff positions including counselors, enrichment teachers, and suppor t services. After this tragic loss of staff, digital media changed our society. Our underfunded education system was woefully underprepared to manage the rapid behavioral changes that inflicted our youth. With underfunding came outdated CO Dept. of Education (CDE) Academic and Health Standards until policy changes in 2018 require a Standards review every six years followed by two years for recommendation review and research before updating. Although this is an improvement, it is painfully slow for changes to happen while our global digital evolution moves at breakneck pace, sweeping up our youth in its wake. In 2020, Colorado updated education health standards including more social emotional curriculum to be implemented in 2022-23 school year. With an Eagle County teacher shor tage, there is a lack of resources for educator professional development to adequately implement updated standards. The Par tners’ program alignment and delivery could not be more impor tant. The creation and evolution of the Par tners’ universal approach to SEL addresses health inequities that tend to be innate in a traditional paradigm of rural Colorado school systems. These health inequities include the capacity of our schools to be inclusive of diverse youth identities. Eagle County community systems are currently structured with a top-down, leaders-decide approach to decision making in what is best for youth. There has historically been a lack of defined space for youth to contribute to the solutions intended to address their needs. Traditional approaches to providing health services are rooted in a dominant caucasian, heterosexual culture, missing a diverse cultural approach in accepted practices. This lack of diversity in mental health services is showing in our data to exacerbate mental health issues in our BIPOC and LGBTQ youth. The Par tners recognize and address behavioral education barriers based on culture and a lack of suppor t for vulnerable populations. We know that in-school programming is the most equitable approach to reaching all youth with adequate level of services from prevention to intervention. We also recognize a lack of healthy boundaries for specific youth populations adding to their vulnerability. Our youth need the ability to feel safe in expressing personal identity throughout the community as well as at home. Root-Cause Experience:  Describe the organization’s experience with root-cause work (see Grant Information Packet for definition and detailed reference). * DocuSign Envelope ID: 64491F88-F17B-4548-85A9-F4A1E8B2F489 7/31/23, 11:04 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNicVxNNsbXdGo5hWyy719KWapf…8/16 The B.E. Par tners have a Working Agreement based on the Constellation Model of Leadership to manage social change by bringing together multiple nonprofit agencies working toward a strategic goal to build capacity and equity for Behavioral Education. The Partners meet monthly throughout the year to manage coalition activities, create efficiencies in program coordination, evaluate universal tools and resources, and share program challenges, oppor tunities, and successes. Although we have a constellation model, we do elect a board chair from the coalition who manages the meetings with suppor t from EFEC. To advance the coalition mission, Partners also par ticipate in youth behavioral and wellness focused community groups including the Total Health Alliance and Mental Health Advisory Committee (EFEC attended as many of these meetings that were publicly announced). We noticed very distinctly that both of these committees do not have much of a youth voice representation. This may have changed since COVID, EFEC has not been to a MHAC meeting since before the pandemic. Partners also participate in the District Wellness Accountability Committee and subcommittees for SEL and community engagement. The Par tners also engage with out-of-school youth programs. And, each coalition agency board of directors suppor ts the coalition effor ts independently. EFEC works tirelessly at the state level with Great Education Colorado to bring awareness to the education funding deficit and exposing the inequities it causes. Board Structure:   Describe the role of the board of directors in advancing the mission of the organization. * DocuSign Envelope ID: 64491F88-F17B-4548-85A9-F4A1E8B2F489 7/31/23, 11:04 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNicVxNNsbXdGo5hWyy719KWapf…9/16 There are several challenges the Par tner coalition faces in efficacy of program delivery, but a key issue is specific to our public schools and less of an issue with the char ter and private schools. Parochial schools have different challenges based on religious belief systems with the same result. Since the 2020 CDE academic health standards update in emotional wellness curriculum planned for implementation in the 2022-23 school year, ECS is responding with a universal prevention curriculum as well as a more robust Multi Tiered System of Suppor t (MTSS). However, due to underfunding and a lack of educators and school staff, this transition will take longer to become reality. The Par tners are working closely with ECS Prevention Coordinators to manage the transition of program facilitation from community agencies to district employees. Partner trained facilitators have built trust with local youth, teachers and counselors. And, overwhelmed school staff are resistant to taking on more professional development when community organizations are “already doing a good job”. Program facilitation by school staff will experience a massive shift regaining youth trust. A secondary issue is a lack of school administrator understanding of program learning targets and youth needs. Par tner organizations have strong capacity to deliver programs, but in some schools, outside prevention programming is not prioritized despite the need. As our political climate continues to polarize, organizations are experiencing parental resistance as well. And finally, because these programs are not required curriculum delivered by school staff, youth and families are allowed to “opt out” of lessons. Ultimately, the Par tners’ mission is to ensure a universal SEL plan is implemented. This will take complete coordination of Par tners and school administrators. In order for Partners to “Train the Trainers”, a Red Ribbon Project program already being developed, administrators, educators and counselors must be willing to adapt with understanding. Project Funding Request EFEC requests administrative funding suppor t for the B.E. Par tner coalition to continue working toward a strategic paradigm shift for universal K-12 prevention and behavioral education in Eagle County. With EC Systems Change funding, the Par tners will build upon a system-centric foundation of evidence-based, grade level programming that includes youth-centered input to improve efficacy and impact for our most vulnerable youth populations. B.E. programs that are recommended but not mandated by the CDE yet are critical for positive youth development and include: violence prevention and healthy relationships; substance use prevention and healthy decision making; maturation and sexual health; and suicide prevention and mental health resources. For many youth, these in-school programs are the only opportunity to learn how to manage anxiety, depression, and self awareness with understanding consent, boundaries, coping skills and more to thrive as adults. Board/Team Structure:   Describe the key issues related to board effectiveness that are being addressed this year: * Funding Request:  Provide a project title and description of the proposed use of funds:* DocuSign Envelope ID: 64491F88-F17B-4548-85A9-F4A1E8B2F489 7/31/23, 11:04 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNicVxNNsbXdGo5hWyy719KWa…10/16 To understand the needs of our youth with regard to the specific health inequities our main resource is the Healthy Kids Colorado data. Mountain Youth works with the state and local schools to administer the anonymous survey biennially to all 6th-12th grade youth in public and private schools (averaging more than 3,500 youth). The data spans over a decade with the first survey administered in 2011, tracking the population as they age though school. The Par tners also utilize two relatively new tools employed by the school district, Smar t Source to compare and contrast with the data collected through HKCS and a risk assessment tool BESS, administered by ECS every fall to identify youth needing services beyond prevention and into intervention. Youth mental health data from HKCS shows concerning increases since 2011 and some positive reversals with the implementation of Partner programs in more schools. High school youth who felt sad or hopeless for two weeks in a row increased from 23.5% (2011) to 38% (2021), and middle school increased from 18.8% (2011) to 26.5% (2021). High school youth who seriously considered suicide increased from 12.6% (2011) to 18.4% (2017), and decreased to 15% (2021); who made a suicide plan increased from 11.3% (2011) to 15.8% (2017), and decreased to 12.9% (2021); or who attempted suicide increased from 6.4% (2011) to 7.7% (2017), and decreased to 6.4% (2021). Middle school youth who seriously considered suicide increased from 8.7% (2011) to 21.9% (2015) but decreased to 20.8% (2021); who made a suicide plan increased from 5% (2011) to 23.9% (2015) and decreased to 15.1% (2021), and those who attempted suicide increased from 5% (2011) to 11.4% (2015), and decreased to 8.8% (2021). Responses by youth who identify as LGBTQ+ to the aforementioned indicators were at least double, sometimes triple that of their heterosexual counterparts. LatinX youth responses were an average of 5% higher for all indicators than their non-Hispanic peers. A deeper analysis of local 2017 HKCS data shows high school users of alcohol and marijuana report higher rates of feeling sad or hopeless, considering suicide, making a suicide plan, or attempting suicide. The gap between users and non-users for feeling sad or hopeless is nearly 16% higher for alcohol and 17% for Marijuana. The attempted suicide rate is nearly double for users of either substance. Unfortunately, this data is not available for 2021 comparison and 2017 is the most current. A continuation of the B.E. Par tners coalition approach to youth behavioral health supports a systems change process from the CDE. Partner programs will continue to fill critical learning gaps while ECS implements updated SEL curriculum that began in the 2022-23 school year. The coalition will also work in par tnership with ECS to train educators in Par tner program facilitation for continuity. Purpose:  Describe the issue and/or opportunity addressed in pursuing this project, including the systems change identified (see Grant Information Packet for definition and detailed reference): * DocuSign Envelope ID: 64491F88-F17B-4548-85A9-F4A1E8B2F489 7/31/23, 11:04 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNicVxNNsbXdGo5hWyy719KWa…11/16 The B.E. Par tners including Bright Future Foundation, Mountain Youth, Red Ribbon Project, SpeakUp ReachOut, and the Education Foundation of Eagle County will continue to provide equitable access to prevention and behavioral education programs for youth in grades 4-12 that suppor t healthy coping, life skills, decision-making, relationship skills, and overall wellness. Through a collaborative approach, the Partners will maintain efforts to implement universal SEL programs in partnership with ECSD, char ter, private and parochial schools. The Partners will continue working with out-of-school providers to align SEL tools, messages, and approaches in an effor t to create consistency across the community for youth. The collaborative will also expand upon current partnerships in and out of school to align inclusion of the youth voice in decision-making processes with groups including but not limited to Valley’s Voice youth leadership, My Future Pathways leadership, and Youth Equity Stewardship leadership through ECSD. The Par tners will direct more focus on youth needs in our LatinX and LGBTQ communities as these youth are self-identifying as the most vulnerable populations within our school communities. EFEC will continue to serve as an administrative par tner to provide collaborative coordination, funding suppor t and organizational facilitation as Partner programs continue to evolve to fit the needs of our schools and community with an equity-focused lens. EFEC will also continue to manage the part time Youth Advisor position within our coalition structure. The Youth Advisor will attend all Par tner meetings, manage the collection of feedback from youth advocates through connections with existing programs and a consistent group of youth representatives that will promote their agency and ability to use their voice to influence their social-emotional learning and create positive changes in their school and community environments. With EC Systems Change funding suppor t, the Par tners will maintain our collaborative approach to in-school program delivery and expand effor ts to enhance our work with a youth-informed approach. This will allow the B.E. Partners to better support young people as they develop their racial, ethnic, sexual and/or gender identity within our behavioral education programs. In going through this process of youth-centered information sharing, guided by a Youth Advisor, we strive to strengthen our youth population’s sense of belonging and demonstrate that we value their ideas and contributions. The Par tners will also continue working with ECSD Prevention Coordinators on strategic planning and training effor ts necessary for the transition to facilitating SEL program delivery by educators and school staff. Par tners will also continue to par ticipate in meetings with District Wellness Accountability Committee and subcommittee meetings, Vail Health community meetings, EC Public Health cooperation, THA and MHAC meetings when applicable. Activities and Actions:  Describe the steps and actions that will be taken in project implementation including timeline: * DocuSign Envelope ID: 64491F88-F17B-4548-85A9-F4A1E8B2F489 7/31/23, 11:04 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNicVxNNsbXdGo5hWyy719KWa…12/16 Major funding sources for the B.E. Par tners include Vail Health, Eagle Valley Behavioral Health, Eagle County Public Health, EpicPromise, Colorado Depar tment of Public Health and Environment, Colorado Office of Behavioral Health, Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration, United Way, Temple Hoyne Buell Foundation, El Pomar Foundation, The Daniels Fund, several smaller regional Foundations, and individual donations. If awarded EC Systems Change funding, we believe other foundations, who align with mental health prevention and intervention, will recognize the greater coalition efforts and offer support of this community-focused effor t. Each agency brings their own suppor t to the table for a greater impact. We believe this approach of requesting overall coalition suppor t works well for overlapping funders. The long term strategy to maintain the B.E. Partner’s universal SEL is to approach the Board of Education and top school leadership with the impact of our work and advocate for behavioral education and SEL programs to not only be a higher priority within school system budgets, but also to be included as an impor tant subject during the school week. Currently, our school system does not allocate a specific par t of the day or week or semester to behavioral education. Each school “fits us in” where and when they can, and believes the programs we provide are valuable enough to find that time. On the faculty end-of-year surveys, many comment that they appreciate what this coalition does for the community and the youth. As the strength and relevance of this coalition approach builds, the par tnership will welcome additional community-based, youth-focused organizations to collaborate with us, align effor ts, and maximize resources. As the capacity for this par tnership grows, the pool of resources should grow as well. Evaluation and Outcomes The Par tners' goal is to reach as many 4-12 grade youth with evidence-based prevention and behavioral health programming in all schools throughout Eagle County as possible. Secondarily, the Par tners are consistently promoting the need for dedicated time during the school week specifically for universal social emotional learning. To reach these goals, the Par tners will continue to collaborate regularly, sharing resources, challenges, and information within our coalition. We will also continue working with youth-focused community organizations, school administrators, listen to the youth perspective, devise a strategy to train school-based educators and staff, work with Eagle County Public Health, and communicate with the Board of Education. The Par tners will continue to update the SEL health standards curriculum map each school year to identify for schools which entity is delivering curricula to support each CDE health standard recommendation. Sustainability planning:  Describe how the program will be sustained using complementary funding sources or other methods of financial security: * Describe the project goals and objectives:* DocuSign Envelope ID: 64491F88-F17B-4548-85A9-F4A1E8B2F489 7/31/23, 11:04 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNicVxNNsbXdGo5hWyy719KWa…13/16 The Par tners will continue to utilize Healthy Kids Colorado Survey as a primary resource for measurement of program efficacy. HKCS will be administered again in the fall of 2023. Mountain Youth in par tnership with the state and local schools, will manage the survey facilitation to collect anonymous responses from youth in grades 6-12. There are multiple indicators included in the survey, but the Par tners will focus on indicators in the following sections: Healthy Relationships & Safety, Stress, Mental Health & Suicide, Vaping, Alcohol, Marijuana, and Sexual Health. Administered biennially, this will be the seventh time HKCS is delivered since it began in the 2011-2012 school year. In addition to HKCS, we have four more survey tools that we reference for data comparison. In the 2021-22 school year, Eagle County Schools star ted using the BASC-3 Behavioral and Emotional Screening System (BESS) at the star t of each school year. This is a universal social and emotional screening tool for students to provide a fair and impar tial way of looking at how they are progressing in their social and emotional development. Screenings can also help identify areas where school staff and parents/guardians can collaborate to improve student success. ECS also administers a Smar t Source Survey every other fall, starting in the 2019-2020 school year that is utilized by the ECS Wellness Committee. The Par tners par ticipate in the Wellness Committee and serve on the Social-Emotional Learning subcommittee. And finally, the Par tners also administer a Staff Survey and a Universal Student Evaluation Survey at the end of each school year to learn from teachers and administrators how the B.E. programs impact their students and if students are retaining the prevention knowledge being taught. All of these measurement tools inform the Partners work as we strive to reach more youth with positive developmental strategies. The B.E.Par tners utilize a comprehensive in-house shared tracking document to record the number of students per school, per grade level, and number of sessions for each Partner program delivered. ECSD also has a tracking system that they request par tners to update regularly. We utilize universal evaluation surveys for both youth and staff. And, each organization has independent evaluation methods required by a variety of funders. Describe the organization's overall approach to evaluation:* How will your organization measure the outputs (the direct results of program activities such as number of people engaged, number of hours of staff time, attendance etc.) of the project that is the subject of this proposal? * DocuSign Envelope ID: 64491F88-F17B-4548-85A9-F4A1E8B2F489 7/31/23, 11:04 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNicVxNNsbXdGo5hWyy719KWa…14/16 The B.E.Par tners will continue to use HKCS health indicators to measure outcomes of the programs. The par tners will also reference the ECSD Smart Source and BESS evaluation tools to compare and contrast data. At the end of each school year, the Par tners administer a universal youth survey with assistance from the Prevention Coordinators to understand program efficacy and engagement. The B.E. Par tner coalition addresses the root cause for a lack of behavioral health access for youth by providing equitable access to SEL programs during the school day and out of school through par tnerships with schools, community youth organizations, and engaging the youth voice. The Partners advocate for dedicated in-school time to deliver critical behavioral health curriculum with the Board of Education. And we regularly engage the community with outreach and information regarding the need for SEL for our youth throughout Eagle County. EFEC specifically performs outreach to our constituency regarding a lack of education funding that negatively impacts the behavioral health of our youth. Partnerships and Collaboration The most significant interactions for the Partners are those with ECSD Prevention Coordinators, the District Wellness Accountability Committee, YouthPower 365, My Future Pathways, Youth Equity Stewardship, and the Colorado Health Foundation. With the Prevention Coordinators, the Partners coordinate effor ts for delivering programs in schools, manage issues with administrators, identify youth with additional risks and intervention needs, and continually revise the SEL Curriculum Map to identify gaps and duplication of services. The DWAC is a strategic approach to facilitating overall wellness in our school communities which includes SEL and behavioral health. With out-of-school community youth programming and the YES groups, the Partners strive to align behavioral health messages to youth and engage the youth voice. And finally, the Colorado Health Foundation has granted $568,920 in funding suppor t to facilitate programming in schools from 2019-2023. This has been a significant boost for the coalition's program delivery capacity.

Inclusivity and Equity The Par tners work with YES, the ECS Prevention Coordinators, out of school community youth programs, school administrators, educators and counselors to engage the youth we serve. In the 2021-22 school year, the Partners hired our first Youth Advisor position, managed by EFEC. The Youth Advisor attended all of the Partner programs delivered by each organization in grades 6-12. They worked with the program educator prior to observing each program facilitation to understand the health standard target. Post facilitation, the Youth Advisor filled out a consistent perspective form to share their thoughts on cultural relevancy of the curriculum and youth engagement. In the 2022-23 school year, the B.E. Youth Advisor managed 19 youth focus groups, with support from Par tners, to gather a collective youth perspective on programming. At the end of the spring semester, the Advisor prepared and Executive Summary for the Par tners to gain a better understanding directly from students. The Summary is being shared with ECSD Prevention Coordinators and district administration for fur ther sharing of relevant feedback to inform our work. The Partners will use this approach to continue to engage our youth as programming evolves. In 2022-23, the Par tners hired a Youth Advisor to engage the community we serve. The Youth Advisor performed 19 anonymous youth focus groups in the spring semester of 2023 and wrote a comprehensive Executive Summary of the results. Focus group results have been shared with ECS Prevention Coordinators, the Superintendent’s office, and the B.E. Partner organizations. Once reviewed and discussed further it can be shared with our other par tners including the DWAC, ECPH, and out-of-school youth-serving organizations as necessary.
