In Tandem

What’s in a name? At In Tandem, our name is more than just a title—it reflects the collaborative spirit that drives everything we do. And it wasn’t decided by a select few. In Tandem Youth Partners co-created it, making sure it embodies their voices, ideas, and values. This process is a reminder that when young people lead and shape decisions, everything feels more meaningful and true to the community it serves. #YouthVoice #InTandem #Teens
