How the Draft Vision Statement Was Developed

In Summer 2025, staff collected early feedback from the community, the Children Youth Well-Being Network, and teen ambassadors on the common values that should guide the Children and Youth Well-Being Plan. Using that input, a vision group of staff, teens, and committed community partners developed the draft vision statement.
