What We Do:

HOYS Employs These Overarching Tenets

Amplify youth voice by listening to youth on issues affecting them, sharing this voice with the community and policy makers and ensure youth perspective is incorporated into program design, policy, and evaluation.

Promote the use of programmatic and organizational best practice models by youth development agencies through delivery of training and technical assistance for front line youth workers, managers of youth programs, and directors of youth agencies.

Collaborate with a range of youth stakeholders, including the school system, workforce development, community agencies, state agencies and funders; to maximize coordination, strengthen the range of supports and services that are available to Hartford youth and increase connections and communication among Hartford youth stakeholders.

Document available resources that support youth and document unmet needs in order to develop and/or advocate for additional supports.

Pioneer new methods of data collection and outcome measurement for the community to assist partners with continuous program improvement and data driven decision-making.

Fund positive youth development programming and special initiatives to address current needs in the community and coordinate with state and foundation partners to maximize the impact and effectiveness of dollars invested in Hartford youth.
