The YDNs are an investment in youth development, strengthing the social safety net of Los Angeles to better meet the needs of youth and to promote their wellbeing. YDN providers will serve youth in middle and high school and young adults up to 24 years old. Huge appreciation to colleagues, consultants, and community taskforce members who helped make this a reality! A big congratulations to the providers! 🥳This is only the beginning and I can’t wait to see how the YDNs will continue to expand!
