Developing, Inspiring, and Empowering Youth Leaders
Planning for Change
Welcome! Youth-led programs (YLP) use many tools to aid in the planning processes as they seek to create change in their communities. The main tool used to plan for community change is the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). To assist in this process, YLP also use the Youth-Led Community-Based Process Strategy Map and a Macroplan. This allows YLP to establish a data-informed problem of practice and root causes to ensure that they are focused on measurable outcomes.
To support those interested in planning for community change, we created a series of resources to be used by both youth and adult allies engaged in YLP. Watch this short introductory video to see how these resources can be used to help your YLP plan for change in your community.
