About us.

Youth Motivating Others Through Voices of Experience (MOVE) provides opportunity for you voice, peer support, advocacy, and cultural competency. The Pillars of Youth Move are Education, Community Involvement, mental Health Support and inclusion of youth in foster care and the juvenile justice system, as well as building skills that help with attaining and maintaining employment.

In cooperation with the Summit Co. ADM board, Alliance for Healthy You have created a Youth Move Chapter. The Youth Move Chapter will give opportunity to youth from all sectors including those who have experience with youth-serving systems to successfully transition to adulthood and become productive citizens. The Youth Move Objective is to educate, Support and involve youth in Summit County which mirrors the mission of Alliance for Healthy Youth to empower, educate and empower youth to make and keep healthy lifestyle choices.

Chapter members are the catalyst for project planning, naming, developing policies, identifying activities, recruiting additional members, and developing the Leadership team. Two state-level activities are being planned and a third activity would be planned by the Summit Co. Chapter.

The Youth Move Chapter works with already existing partners including Akron and Summit Co. School districts, Children’s Services Board, Summit Co. ADM Board and the Summit Co. Human Trafficking Collaborative. Future partners, to be identified by the chapter members, will be add to the chapter’s partnerships. There is no cost to schools who partner to provide a Youth Move Chapter.
