Youth Coalition
Our youth coalition builds and supports young students to be leaders in their community. We provide fun and interactive trainings for students to engage in. Through these trainings, students learn public speaking skills, professionalism, leadership skills, data collection, and more. We currently have a youth coalition in Visalia operating on Zoom/CHC Visalia office and a youth coalition in Livingston operating on Zoom/Livingston City Hall. The Visalia youth coalition adult ally is Joanna Garcia and the Livingston youth coalition adult ally is Baljit Tiwana.
