Projects

Project 1: A Call to Duty: Youth/Veteran Mentorship Program

The veterans of Charlotte County made an infinite commitment to serve this great nation. Often these military individuals are driven by serving. Many served as dedicated leaders, have made sacrifices most have never imagined, and most importantly, led lives with purpose. The program has a specific curriculum for the youth and veteran participants which will include activities that facilitate learning life skills such as relationship building, healthy choices, accessing community resources such as mental health, housing resources, etc., and more. For more information about the planning of the mentorship program, becoming a mentor, or becoming a mentee, please email HealthyCharlotte@flhealth.gov.

Project 2: Household Stability Initiative

Healthy Charlotte will support partners to identify youth housing data and the barriers that exist for the household, such as food insufficiency, transportation, safety, etc. Through coordinated efforts, root cause analysis, targeted outreach, and working directly with those impacted, there can be a greater impact on the community. Through this initiative, relationships with existing housing and household stability committees have been developed. To further the goals of partners, Healthy Charlotte will facilitate the collecting of data, design, and dissemination of marketing materials to provide outreach for at-risk youth in Charlotte County based on the needs of the community and partners.
