Austin Forward Together Youth Empowerment Task Force

Scope and Approach

Meeting online only, 12 Austin teens developed three key focus areas for youth quality of life in Austin: Mental Health, Public Safety, and Youth Empowerment. Through community interviews, surveys, and peer-to-peer conversations the team identified 4-6 strategic initiatives in each focus area. Teens in Territory’s 2020-21 design team programs developed project proposals to address youth mental health and public safety, including “Austin 2.0” and “Four Small Changes” (see above).
