Youth

UNH's advocacy goals in youth services are:

To co-lead the Campaign for Summer Jobs along with the Neighborhood Family Services Coalition, seeking permanent funding for a stand-alone summer jobs program for youth to gain an irreplaceable work experience and contribute to their local communities.
To secure additional funding to provide community- and school-based after school and youth development programs.
