Arts.Advocacy+Wellness: "Alliance for Positive Youth Development"

The Alliance for Positive Youth Development

APYD

Good morning A.A+W and FUTURE readers. In today's social world, I would say that the Youth is our main priority. As the world continues to grow and we continue to age, the younger generation need the tools and support to sustain our economy, our cultures, communities, and our wellness. I recently became an Advisory board of member of The Alliance for Positive Youth Development due to my commitment around issues that impact Youth who are LGBT identified, Youth who struggle with bullying, and young aspiring artists.

The Alliance for Positive Youth Development, a SISGI Group initiative, works to increase the positive outcomes for youth in the U.S. Please take a moment to watch this video that shows a visual of what the APYD does. Learn more about how you can get involved in moving the needle on youth development at:
