 GETTING TO ‘Y’ is an opportunity for students to bring meaning to their own Youth Risk Behavior Survey data. Through youth leadership, partnerships with adults, participatory action research, and peer and community engagement, participants not only experience personal growth and build their capacity for future civic engagement, but also effect sustainable change in youth behavior, community and school culture.

Portsmouth Youth2Youth is a youth empowerment program taking on the issues of alcohol & drug misuse in the community. Currently, Youth2Youth is offered as an after-school club at Portsmouth Middle School and is championed by two Middle School Advisors!

The Coalition is proud to support the administration of the Youth Risk Behavior Survey in the Middle School and High School. This survey measures health-related behaviors and experiences that can lead to death and disability among youth and adults. The results help monitor health trends, identify emerging issues, and plan and evaluate programs that can help improve adolescent health.
