Join the conversation and show your support for youth in the Coos region by downloading these images and sharing them.

The  2015 Empower Coös Youth campaign partnered with students from the Youth Leadership Through Adventure a program of the North Country Health Consortium and local high schools to produce materials intended to encourage youth, families, and civic and community leaders to read the Carsey Institute for Public Policy research on Coös youth, discuss the challenges and strengths it reveals, and to consider innovative ways to engage and support youth in the region.                                        

Special thanks to students and advisors from Berlin, Gorham, Groveton, and White Mountains Regional High Schools as well as students from Colebrook Academy for their leadership over the course of this project.
