Youth education, empowerment, and engagement.

Chariho Youth Task Force

Chariho Youth Task Force mission is to educate, empower, and engage young people in order to create a sense of community, promote wellness, and to sustain opportunity for those voices to be heard. They are a youth founded and led organization with national recognition.

 

Chariho has a body-positive campaign "Every body is Beautiful." They support youth to learn to love their bodies for what they are - a tool. A tool that allows us to walk, to run, to dance, to do all the things we love. Let's thrive, celebrate, and appreciate!​

 

They envision that one day all young people will have a seat at the table of their choosing, that we can create a community driven toward wellness, and ultimately sustain and grow the passions that lay within us all.  

 

Over the past 10 years Chariho Youth Task Force worked to change the culture around tobacco use on a local and state level, educate their community about effects of substance use,  are leading a regional movement that focuses on positive mental health and coping strategies, and are working to change the culture around body positivity.
