"It’s important that young people are not only informed of the decisions and efforts that are going to impact them and their lives, but they should be part of influencing what that looks like...Often times, young people actually have the solutions; they’re just not given that platform or opportunity to provide [input]."
~Fahad Qurashi

Read this fantastic new case study, just published by Berkeley Media Studies Group and The California Endowment. The study celebrates the work of Get Healthy San Mateo County - a local collaborative of community-based organizations, County agencies, cities, schools, and hospitals working together to advance policy change to prevent diseases and ensure everyone has equitable opportunities to live a long and healthy life.

The report makes the critical connection between equity and health, and highlights YLI Program Manager Adam Wilson's work with the San Mateo County Youth Commission.

Marin Oaks High is a continuation school. Where the “bad” kids go in Marin County. The kids who can’t sit still, who disrupt class, who get bad grades. They get kicked out too many times, and then it’s off to Marin Oaks they go.

And when they get there, they thrive.

They make friends and connect with their teachers. Their grades improve. They graduate. Something is different about Marin Oaks — and, whatever it is, it is making all the difference.

During the ‘17-18 school year, a group of Marin Oaks students decided to investigate that difference...and came up with some powerful recommendations that they shared with teachers and administrators across the Novato Unified School District.
