YES = YES
With Youth Empowered to Succeed,
You Ensure Public Safety
What is the YES! legislative agenda?
- Say YES! to healthy families. Continue to support the changes to Family With Service Needs policies and practices. First, appropriate funds to establish Family Support Centers, providing crisis intervention and ongoing support, statewide.
- Say YES! to better schools. Support initiatives to improve student engagement in school, citizenship and the school community, including truancy prevention and alternatives to unproductive discipline tactics like suspension.
- Say YES! to safe communities. Pass legislative changes to fully fund and implement Raise the Age. We know that the juvenile system does a far better job of reducing recidivism, offering better prospects for our young people and for our communities.
Do you want to say YES! to Connecticut's youth and help spread the word?
