RECITALS WHEREAS, the County works to promote the health, safety, and welfare of Eagle County citizens of all ages; and WHEREAS, ECPHE has identified a significant community need for funding and services dedicated to the ‘promotion’ phase of care, which addresses root causes of local health disparities, which lead to a myriad of individual high-risk behaviors; and WHEREAS, the observed and reported fragmentation of community organizations and non- profits leads to a lack of strategy in services and programming across systems of care; and WHEREAS, ECPHE would like to extend staff knowledge and experience to offer organizational support while administering funds with the intent of infusing equity and inclusion from a systemic level; and WHEREAS, among the services Eagle County provides in order to promote such health, safety, and welfare are grants-in-aid to local organizations whose work assists the County in accomplishment of the goal to create and sustain a safe, healthy, environmentally and economically vital and socially diverse community; and WHEREAS, the County introduced the 2023 Pilot Advancing Systems Change Grants (the “ASC Grants”), which intend to fulfill capacity-building needs that support selected grant recipients’ projects which lead to expanding the ability to advance efforts to address root causes, enhance inter-agency partnerships and collaboration, and incorporate community-based decision-making in operations; and WHEREAS, the County issued a Request for Proposals on June 26, 2023 to determine appropriate entities to receive the ASC Grants.

Since inception, Mountain Youth has taken a leadership role in assessing local youth behaviors and perceptions, evaluating gaps, and mobilizing the community to address priority youth needs. Mountain Youth collects and disseminates critical data that benefits the community, and utilizes conversations to ensure youth needs are met, gaps are addressed, and coordination is occurring. Working with diverse service community and focus population leaders, stakeholders and providers, the community can more effectively and efficiently assess and meet the changing needs of youth and mobilize collectively for positive change. Mountain Youth also offers a variety of prevention programming based on identified gaps. Through prioritization of local needs, Mountain Youth provides youth leadership and advocacy opportunities, substance use prevention and family education efforts throughout the Eagle River Valley in par tnership with youth, governmental entities, as well as youth program providers. Celebrating over 20 years of service, Mountain Youth helps foster a healthy and suppor tive community that makes youth a priority, increases their self-sufficiency and enables them to reach their full potential.

Comprehensive Data Assessment: Mountain Youth administers the biennial Healthy Kids Colorado Survey (HKCS) to local 6th-12th grade youth. HKCS was administered in fall 2021 to 3,382 youth at 12 local middle and high schools. Local data and resource assessments are utilized to encourage stakeholder engagement, community collaboration, steer critical programming, secure resources, encourage policy change, create efficiencies in service access and delivery, and guide initiatives to best support youth and families. Life Skills Education: Mountain Youth par tners with schools to facilitate evidence-based programs that develop healthy coping and communication skills, resistance skills, improve decision making, and develop motivation to choose positive health behaviors. Programs reach approximately 1,200 youth annually in elementary, middle and high schools to reinforce skills at key life stages to prevent risky behaviors. Mountain Youth, ECSD and BE Par tners created a comprehensive SEL development plan that aligns with state health standards and is implemented across schools. For youth using substances, Mountain Youth offers an early intervention program that has been successful in reducing youth substance use. Youth Leadership: Valley’s Voice youth advocacy and leadership program engages a youth executive board and any interested local youth in projects that result in youth-led positive changes in the community. All aspects of the program are youth-led, adult suppor ted. Youth identify priority areas, lead passion projects, and organize “For Youth By Youth” events that are positive, safe, and fun. Over 50 middle and high school youth par ticipate in Valley’s Voice and engage over 850 youth annually in prosocial activities. Community Education Efforts: Annually, over 900 family members attend free bilingual and bicultural educational and skills-building programs for youth 5th grade and up with their parents/guardians. Large informational forums bring community and exper ts together to discuss mental and behavioral health topics. A more intimate program, We Hear U, for youth and parents referred by the school addresses specific behaviors and establishes new shared expectations and communication. Environmental Change: Collaboration with local law enforcement, government, healthcare, businesses, transit providers, event producers and schools focus on reducing youth substance access and use, impaired or distracted driving, and awareness of young driver laws. Prevention education and awareness strategies, designed to reach the entire community, include education, media campaigns, increased signage, policy review, enforcement, increasing protective factors, and reducing risk factors. 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: 61D95143-D060-4F93-9357-AC86CB3E3463 7/31/23, 11:11 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNhg_0meA9FbMv7Gi9ZQ7QAStQ…6/18 Mountain Youth has experience operating in public health frameworks that focus on upstream prevention effor ts and require the organization, par tners, committees and collaboratives to identify and address root causes through an equity lens. The Strategic Prevention Framework and the Communities that Care framework, both evidence-based approaches for prevention, ask the coalition and backbone agency of the coalition - Mountain Youth in this case - to identify and engage community leaders and members that are most impacted by the efforts of the coalition (the focus population) and provide decision-making power to impact positive change in the community to benefit the focus population. The organization is charged with building the capacity of community leaders and stakeholders to complete the steps of the framework and effectively implement change. Community capacity building can come through professional development, compensation, building skills and knowledge, recruitment and engagement of more members of the focus population to the decision-making processes, and securing resources to implement the efforts identified by the coalition. Prior to beginning any planning or implementation, the coalition must undergo a comprehensive assessment process wherein data is collected and reviewed to understand the problem, identify root causes, and identify who is most impacted by the problem area. This can be done through formal data collection and review of outcomes at the aggregate level and by specific demographics, review of secondary data sources, focus groups, key informant interviews, community gatherings, and a data crosswalk to understand the problem area, root causes, systems that impact or perpetuate this problem, and who is most impacted. From this assessment and capacity building period, the coalition goes through a planning process to identify the implementation strategies that will be most effective for the problem and focus population, with the ultimate decision being made by the community leaders and stakeholders that can most effectively create change in the focus population. Implementation occurs at the recommendation and in par tnership with the coalition, and the entire process is evaluated by the coalition to understand the effectiveness of the implementation, how it has affected change in the systems and problem area for the focus population, and what could be done to not only maintain this change but to continue to improve it so that the problem area is no longer a concern. Root-Cause Experience:  Describe the organization’s experience with root-cause work (see Grant Information Packet for definition and detailed reference). * DocuSign Envelope ID: 61D95143-D060-4F93-9357-AC86CB3E3463 7/31/23, 11:11 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNhg_0meA9FbMv7Gi9ZQ7QAStQ…7/18 Mountain Youth is comprised of a board of directors that governs the nonprofit entity. The organization also convenes advisory councils, committees, collaboratives, and par tners made up of diverse community leaders and stakeholders to oversee different aspects and focus areas of the organization and its effor ts. Mountain Youth’s Board of Directors represents 12 sectors of the community to ensure diverse perspectives, including: Youth, Parent, Business, Media, School, Youth Serving, Religious, Law Enforcement, Civic/Volunteer, Health Care, Government, and Substance Use. Of the 18 current board members, 5 are youth representing various backgrounds, schools, and experiences. The full board of directors convenes every other month and an Executive Committee meets with the Executive Director monthly. The Executive Committee recommends actions for approval of the full board and is responsible for all fiscal oversight. Other subcommittees focus on strategic action related to Development and Events, Sustainability, Communities that Care, and Safe Driving. Directors are elected at the January meeting for terms of 3 years and shall be eligible to serve no more than two consecutive terms. The board continuously conducts assessments of needs, review of issues, prioritization and evaluation of research-based strategies and monitoring resources. Each board meeting beginnings with an opportunity for members to share a mission connection they experienced or were a par t of since the last meeting. This gives an oppor tunity for members to reflect on the mission, how they are contributing to it, and how they experience it in their own personal or professional lives. Board members are also asked to serve in a sector role and to represent this voice and perspective in the community. This strays from a traditional board role in that the board is intentional in its recruitment process to ensure diverse viewpoints are serving on the board. Each fall, the board and staff convene a review of the strategic plan, progress made towards goals, and updates to action items over the course of the next year. In fall 2022, a more in-depth review of the strategic plan was completed for a new 3 year period that set goals based on current priority needs of youth and families identified through data and board member perspectives. The board works with staff to set the strategic plan of the organization that accomplishes the mission. The fulfillment of the mission and work of the organization is also carried out through committees, advisory councils, and action teams that are comprised of staff, board, community leaders, par tners, and stakeholders. These groups operationalize the goals set out in the strategic plan and utilize the evidence- based frameworks to ensure there is understanding and consensus of the problem area, who it is impacting, recruiting stakeholders to plan and implement change and review evaluation results to revise and renew effor ts. Board Structure:   Describe the role of the board of directors in advancing the mission of the organization. * DocuSign Envelope ID: 61D95143-D060-4F93-9357-AC86CB3E3463 7/31/23, 11:11 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNhg_0meA9FbMv7Gi9ZQ7QAStQ…8/18 Through board assessments, oppor tunities are recognized to improve board recruitment of members representing diverse sectors and perspectives, a focus on improving the onboarding process for new members to more fully understand all the work of the organization and their role within it, maintaining training and leadership development oppor tunities for board and staff, and building board member leadership skills to successfully move into an executive board member role and join the executive committee. These goals are not just for the nonprofit board of directors but for all avenues in which community and focus population leaders, and partners are asked to engage with and contribute to the work of the organization. The executive director works with an internal leadership team and the board’s executive committee to identify opportunities to work toward these goals and brings recommendations to the full board and committee members to adopt or make additional recommendations. Mountain Youth employs a community liaison role to improve outreach and engagement with members of the Hispanic/Latino/a/x community, as well as youth advisors who support broadening engagement amongst youth in the community who bring unique voices and perspectives to the collective work. Board members who also represent unique perspectives in the community also suppor t recruitment and engagement with other members of the community who share a similar perspective that may not be fully represented in the current make-up of the board and committees. Active outreach and engagement is a priority of the organization to ensure a robust representation of our local population is recognized in our work.

With a focus on youth (9-18), older youth (19-25), and their parents/guardians, Mountain Youth will work with focus population leaders, stakeholders and community leaders to review survey tools and administration processes, administer surveys to each focus population, work with evaluators to analyze the data of the current administration as well as trends in behaviors and responses over administrations, and engage stakeholders from the focus populations in reviewing the data results, driving questions and conversations that bring awareness to root causes, and leading planning processes that identify effective strategies for individual, community, and systems level changes that address root causes. Mountain Youth seeks to build the community’s capacity to access data related to youth, older youth, and parents/guardians that creates a comprehensive understanding of health behavior, attitudes, and perceptions. Not only is the data impor tant to guide agencies in making decisions related to priority, needs, and effor ts, but it’s impor tant to steer conversations with community members and focus population stakeholders to understand why areas of concern are noted through the data, contributing factors, systems from which those concerns arise, and root causes that lead to the concern, and ways to address the concern that will be effective and sustainable. Funding Request:  Provide a project title and description of the proposed use of funds:* DocuSign Envelope ID: 61D95143-D060-4F93-9357-AC86CB3E3463 7/31/23, 11:11 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNhg_0meA9FbMv7Gi9ZQ7QASt…10/18 For the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, Mountain Youth seeks to upgrade the current data dashboard to a more interactive and digestible format that will allow community members to understand specific behavior areas and trend behaviors over time, and be able to break the data down by sub-populations and demographics, to understand what behavior areas are of most concern and who it impacts most. Currently, the HKCS dashboard is challenging to navigate and filter into subpopulations. While it offers a way to view the historical trend data for various behaviors, navigating the dashboard requires existing knowledge of the survey and questions. Updating the dashboard with new information requires extensive time on the contractor and has led to migrating the data to a new tableau files, and broken out for high school, middle school, English, and Spanish. For older youth, 19-25 year olds, there is not currently a behavioral health assessment tool similar to HKCS that is administered. There are different studies and surveys related to workforce and substance use behavior but not a comprehensive health related assessment. Mountain Youth would work with a contractor, par tners, and focus population leaders to craft an assessment tool that would gather behavioral health data that would be of importance for the community to understand the needs, gaps, and oppor tunities for serving this age group. The survey would be administered through the local college, businesses, par tner organizations, and across the community. Survey results would be shared with the focus population and par tners to hold conversations that assessed factors, systems, and root causes contributing to areas of concern, and to discuss ways to address those concerns systemically. The assessment and subsequent stakeholder engagement process would allow Mountain Youth and par tners to better work with and serve this focus population that will suppor t the needs they’ve identified with solutions they believe will be most impactful. The community parent/guardian survey will be in its four th administration this school year and will continue to assess their behaviors, perceptions and attitudes. Mountain Youth seeks to make this data more accessible by creating a dashboard or integrating data into a community-level dashboard. Mountain Youth also seeks to work with an evaluator to create a trend analysis repor t that highlights priority areas from the data to be shared with parent leaders, as well as create a cross-analysis repor t of youth and parent behavior concerns that could be addressed across age groups and that would be effective in creating community and systems-level change that address broader behavior concerns. Mountain Youth will also work with parent/guardians and par tners over the year to re-envision the parent advisory council and how to make it an ongoing council of diverse parent leaders that are leading positive and effective community-level and systems change work.

Through a committed team of leaders, Mountain Youth continues to review and update sustainability, strategic marketing and fundraising plans. Mountain Youth routinely reviews and updates its policies with guidance from the Principles & Practices for Nonprofit Excellence. Mountain Youth has been able to secure multi-year grants that suppor t current efforts, and to develop a reserve of 3-6 months operating balance. Through these effor ts, Mountain Youth has developed financial and strategic stability that will continue its work into the future. Mountain Youth is eager to use this foundation to broaden its impact in the community. The organization has been successful in securing multi-year grants through various government depar tments and foundations. The organization has been focused over the last couple of years on expanding corporate and individual donors that have a connection to the mission and believe the work is impor tant to sustain in order for all youth in the Eagle River Valley to thrive. Through a board and staff team, they have been working on sustainability planning, as well as building relationships and contacts in the community that connect with the organization’s mission and suppor t the work. Mountain Youth is also currently the recipient of two multi-year grants through SAMHSA that end in 2024 and will be reapplying for similar funding this winter. The organization will prioritize this assessment work in these two applications to ensure that sustainability of the effor ts maintains beyond the Eagle County grant period. Mountain Youth is also seeking renewed foundation suppor t that would also support this work.

Objective 1: Increase recruitment and engagement of diverse members of the three focus populations to suppor t facilitation of assessment activities and resulting review and planning processes. Objective 2: Administer assessments to the three focus populations Objective 3: Increase community access to data related to the three focus populations Objective 3.1: Work with contractors, focus population leaders, stakeholders and partners to identify the best way to display the data through online resources, repor ts, and media avenues that will create more accessibility and engagement with the data Objective 4: Utilize assessment results to identify priority areas of concern, facilitate conversations that identify contributing factors and root causes, and facilitate processes with focus population leaders, stakeholders, and par tners that lead to environmental and systems-level changes to address areas of concern Objective 4.1: Work with contractors, focus population leaders, stakeholders and partners to review the data, select priority areas to address. Objective 4.2: Facilitate a data review process determined appropriate by the focus populations that engage more leaders and stakeholders of the focus population in reviewing the data, discussing contributing factors, and identifying root causes. Objective 4.3: Work with focus population leaders, stakeholders, and par tners to identify systems-level solutions that address priority concerns, and create action steps and timelines that will work towards achieving those focus population driven solutions.

Mountain Youth follows the Strategic Prevention Framework to assess Eagle County’s needs based on epidemiological data to build prevention capacity, develop and implement strategic plans, programs and policies, and evaluate outcomes. HKCS data influences and encourages policy implementation that fosters a safer and healthier community. HKCS data and supplementary evaluations notate youth trends, attitudes, perceptions and behaviors in order to stay current on the behaviors and needs of local youth. HKCS data is utilized to ensure effectiveness of youth services, alleviate service gaps, confirm appropriate resources and plan for future programs and services. Mountain Youth’s survey administrator role builds capacity of youth-serving organizations and focus population leaders as it allows par tners to understand broad community youth needs. Program and project evaluations are critical in assessing effectiveness of various strategies. Mountain Youth tracks program outputs and attendance, and utilizes matched pre and post evaluations, retrospective post evaluations, satisfactory surveys, a community parent survey, and the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey (HKCS) data to determine effectiveness of strategies and to assess outcomes. Mountain Youth tracks all outputs through utilization of an online database system that all staff have been trained to use and how the data should be entered to compile output results. For this project, Mountain Youth will track: - number of focus population leaders, stakeholders, and par tners who are a part of each phase of the project, the number of meetings attended and hours, and other hours they contribute to the project outside of meetings - number of focus population members that complete the assessment tools - number of focus population members, leaders, stakeholders, and par tners that par ticipate in data review processes and how they’re engaged, number of sessions they attend and hours they contribute - number of individuals who view online data resources once they are made public - number of focus population leaders, stakeholders, and par tners that par ticipate in solutions-building meetings, number of meetings attended, and hours they contribute 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: 61D95143-D060-4F93-9357-AC86CB3E3463 7/31/23, 11:11 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNhg_0meA9FbMv7Gi9ZQ7QASt…15/18 Mountain Youth utilizes two assessment tools to measure outcomes related to stakeholder engagement and their role in decision-making processes. One assessment tool is a lens of difference survey that was created by youth leaders to understand how they are engaging diverse members of focus populations in contributing to and facilitating the work. The survey asks individuals to share diverse backgrounds, experiences, and lens they may have that contribute to the work and to the whole group. A second assessment tool measures the growth in leadership skills and their viewpoint on how their voice is valued and contributes to community-level decision-making. This survey is administered as a pre and post and has been reviewed by youth leaders in the past 6 months to reflect their most recent goals in understanding leadership growth and advocacy skills. For all individuals who are engaged in the project, they will be asked to complete a lens of diversity survey. For individuals who are engaged throughout the entire process, they will also be asked to complete the leadership survey to share how their skills and perspectives have shifted over the course of the project. If they initiate engagement with the project after November, the survey will be administered as a retrospective survey that asks their opinions now and before they became involved in the project. At the conclusion of the grant cycle time period, a project assessment will be completed with all leaders, stakeholders and par tners that contributed throughout the process to assess the project process, integration of diverse leaders, stakeholders, and partners, and ability to make connections and relationships, and ability of the process to fulfill the project goals and objectives that contribute to inclusive decision-making and systems-level changes. They will also make recommendations for improving the process for future cycles and how to ensure the process is meaningful and fulfilling its goals. This project facilitates a focus population engagement process that allows those who own the data to determine what’s most impor tant from the data to assess and prioritize, and facilitates stakeholder engagement processes that allow systems-level solutions to be determined and led by the focus population with partners. The project addresses root causes as it asks focus population leaders, stakeholders, and par tners to dive into the data to understand contributing factors, systems that perpetuate the area of concern, and solutions identified and led by the focus population that will be effective in creating systems- level changes. Partnerships and Collaboration Describe how your organization will measure the outcomes (specific changes in people or organizations such as behavior, attitudes, knowledge, relationships etc.) of the project that is the subject of this proposal. * How does this project address root causes (see Grant Information Packet for definition and detailed reference)? * DocuSign Envelope ID: 61D95143-D060-4F93-9357-AC86CB3E3463 7/31/23, 11:11 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNhg_0meA9FbMv7Gi9ZQ7QASt…16/18 Mountain Youth maintains its original foundation of collaboration and currently engages in partnerships with over 50 entities. The success of Mountain Youth’s effor ts is the collaborative manner in which key community stakeholders are convened to address the changing needs of local youth and families. Partnerships with critical entities prepare professionals to address concerns rapidly and effectively. Mountain Youth hosts various trainings, meetings, educational forums and presentations to ensure that necessary par tners are working in an informed, coordinated and collaborative manner, and are in consistent alignment with needs identified through local data. Par ticipation in various collaborations, community workgroups, and initiatives suppor ts Mountain Youth’s goals to work with the community to share information, identify current needs, and par tner to create solutions and services that are efficient and non- duplicative. Mountain Youth staff par ticipate in the BE Par tners (made up of Eagle County Schools, Bright Future Foundation, Efec, Red Ribbon Project, SpeakUp ReachOut, and Mountain Youth), Eagle Valley Outdoor Movement, Eagle County Gives, Mountain Safe Response Team, Western Slope Regional Leadership Committee, Colorado Youth Driver’s Alliance, Eagle County School’s District Wellness Advisory Committee, Eagle County Climate Action Collaborative, state Healthy Kids Colorado Survey Advisory Committee, Colorado Prevention Association Community Board, and the Eagle County Prevention Committee. Participation on these collaboratives helps to ensure that par tners are aware of Mountain Youth’s effor ts and vice versa in order to create alignment in efforts, build upon them, and identify and share resources to make them most sustainable. Mountain Youth also convenes a family engagement action team with YouthPower365, the safe driving steering committee comprised of many community members and sectors, Communities that Care boards and committees, including the youth recruit and reward committee, and Valley’s Voice to suppor t develop strategic plans and goals, facilitate the collective work, and to implement projects that result in positive youth prevention.
