How we work

Built on what students tell us

Using data from the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey (opens in a new tab) the largest data assessment effort administered biennially to middle and high school students, Mountain Youth develops social norming campaigns, intervention and prevention programming, and opportunities for our community to come together to identify and fill gaps.

Since 2001 formerly the Eagle River Youth Coalition
