"There are a lot of gaps within our systems and available resources. This needs to be fixed, however, we need 'in the meantime' solutions while we wait and work for change. Empowering each other through education and opportunities creates healthier communities for everyone."
OUR PROJECT
"CAPthe Gaps" is a Youth Leadership project focused on identifying and addressing disparities within the mental health and education systems. Through various strategies such as community mapping, research, training, empowerment activities, community service, and solution-based think tanks participants prepare for the next step of advocacy and awareness campaigns. Using media and expressive art forms to disseminate the knowledge gained during these processes, the goal is to advocate for change at both the community and policy levels to create a more equitable and inclusive environments for all.
CAP the Gaps, is currently funded by Elevate Youth California.
