Youth Asset Team

The Youth Asset Team is a student-run branch of The Community Fund of Darien. Our mission is to address substance abuse and mental health by encouraging healthy choices and through community events targeting teens and adults in Darien.

The Youth Asset team meets bi-weekly to assist the efforts of the Thriving Youth Task Force, including:

• Planning and advertising prevention-related speakers and events
• Planning alcohol-alternative events for their peers
• Providing the teen perspective at Thriving Youth Task Force meetings
• Mentoring Youth Give Back (Middle School) Students

This organization is giving these kids a voice and the will to uphold values that will serve them well in the near and far future. I just can’t say enough about how wonderful it is to see one’s teen bursting with pride ~ about something other than academic and athletic achievements. We love YAT! And my son really does too. He prioritizes it and really believes in it. Thank you so much for your role in that!
