2022 TAY Action Teams

For year 3, we are partnered with community-based organizations who have strong, established relationships with high schools in the counties that we are focusing our efforts in. This year of advocacy provides CAYEN with a strong balance of advocacy throughout the community in addition to school settings. This is important to CAYEN because we youth have voiced the need to expand access to supports in services in schools and in broader community settings.
