Youth Strategy
Where Youth Thrive
The City's Youth Service Plan: Where Youth Thrive, is a planning document for the delivery of youth recreation services up to and including the year 2012. The City recognizes the need to align the power of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services for positive youth development. The Where Youth Thrive document identifies the City's role in creating environments that generate opportunities for Richmond’s youth to have a safe and healthy journey into adulthood. Youth should reach adulthood equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills and social connections to make informed decisions about their life and the contributions they wish to make to their community. The Where Youth Thrive plan builds on nine key strategic directions to ensure that effective, meaningful and appropriate PRCS programs, services and opportunities for youth are provided in Richmond.
This plan was endorsed by council in September 2008. Your comments or feedback on this planning document are welcome. Please contact:
