Dover Youth Committee

The Dover Youth Committee was formed in August of 2020 with the purpose of bringing together youth and adults to work in partnership on projects to improve the health of their community.

Currently 48 individuals representing 30 organizations work in partnership on projects to improve the health of Dover youth.

The committee is working to capture youth voice through youth events (Dover Youth Events) and through youth committee participation.

The Dover Youth Committee is split into three subcommittees that advocate for different areas for the improvement of youth: Education, Mental Health, and Food Access.

DYC Mission Statement: The purpose of the Dover Youth Committee is to bring together youth and adults to understand and prioritize health-related issues in the Dover community, and work together to identify community-driven solutions and provide resources to address the needs.
