Youth Opportunity

Youth Access Coalition

Youth Access Coalition is a consortium of representatives from organizations throughout Erie County who share a collective vision to positively impact the lives of school-aged children. Together we meet to share resources and opportunities for children and families and to identify systemic issues causing hurdles or hardships which can be mitigated through focused problem solving and resource collaboration.

The coalition is composed of representatives from local school districts, post-secondary institutions, community based organizations, youth activity vendors, parents, local businesses and those connected to social justice and social service support.
