A.C.T.I.V.E Youth
A.C.T.I.V.E. Youth serves youth ages 13 - 21 years old in Mecklenburg County, with mental, behavioral and emotional concerns and
their siblings. Our Mission Is to voice and support youth opinions while building strong leaders in the community, we motivate youth
of all races, as they look for guidance through peer interaction, and as they deal with issues concerning mental, emotional and behavioral health.
We offer peer-to-peer support groups. We provide leadership training and development. We learn to speak up and let our voices be heard,
cope with our challenges, get to know one another, learn to respect others, and effectively express ourselves. We travel to local and
national Youth Conferences to experience different cultural and other youth-guided organizations. A.C.T.I.V.E. Youth are on the move.
We are growing rapidly. We have participated in various teambuilding activities such as the Rope Course. Others include W.R.A.P. training,
advocacy training, To Tell My Story Training and training to support each other through monthly meetings.
