Mission 

The mission of the Staten Island ACT for Youth is to facilitate collaborations between youth and adults on Staten Island. We work together to build opportunities and supportive environments that are essential for youth to lead healthy and productive lives. Through broad-based efforts founded on Youth and Adult Teams, we include and give voice to youth, and engage both youth and adults in mobilizing community change.

• Training for youth in street-marketing and advocacy
• Experience with youth-led organizational assessment
• Focus on youth involvement in health issues
