Disparities in youth health and well-being threaten both the present vitality and long-term sustainability of our regions. Conversely, supporting youth wellness, leadership, and empowerment can be a potent way to protect and enhance communities' collective interests.
The Center for Regional Change (CRC) uses applied research to understand and disrupt disparities related to race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, and immigration status, along with other factors that hinder the healthy development of children and youth. The center has also been active in training and mentoring young equity advocates and their adult allies to use data to improve these conditions.
