Meet our 2024 youthink teams:

Hello!

We’re thrilled to announce our first cohort at youthink Incubator Hub! These 5 passionate teams will spend the next several months creating new solutions for complex challenges affecting the health of young people in their community. We’re so grateful for the opportunity to partner with them.

Meet our 2024 youthink teams:

• Answer (New Jersey) is working to support youth and youth-serving professionals in having conversations about sexuality and mental health.
• Metro United Way (Kentucky) is focusing on supporting the mental health and emotional well-being of youth from different geographic neighborhoods in Louisville in light of COVID-19 and civil unrest.
• National Center for Youth Law (California) is investigating poor perinatal outcomes for expectant and parenting youth in foster care.
• Think College (Massachusetts) is working to support college students with intellectual disabilities to develop knowledge of comprehensive sexual health and their sexual rights and responsibilities.
• University of Guam (Guam) is working to understand their community’s experiences communicating about sensitive topics with middle school students.

We look forward to seeing our teams go through the youthink process and work towards a world where adolescents have the support, confidence, and resources to build their most brilliant futures.

We’d love to keep you posted on their progress as well as opportunities for you to get involved. If there’s something specific that you’d like to learn more about, let us know by visiting youthink.health/contact-us or email us at youthink@chla.usc.edu.
