Boulder County Public Health VISTA

The VISTA will build capacity and leverage resources to support the Inspire Youth Connections Program, Healthy Futures Youth Coalition, and other Community Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) program projects which serve youth and adults in Boulder County. This program supports breaking the cycle of poverty by addressing shared risk and protective factors that impact access to community supports and services, mental health, overall health, prevent substance use and promote poverty elimination. VISTA efforts will enhance mechanisms in identification and dissemination of prevention resources, building capacity for communication and other prevention efforts, building tools that will help CSAP develop new partnerships, designing outreach and recruitment processes, creating templates for more collaboration, and refining evaluation systems. The VISTA in this role will also learn about local government structure and skills in building complex partnerships between diverse stakeholders. Projects of the CSAP program engage in strategies to improve how systems can better meet the needs of underserved populations. Ultimately, this project will support poverty elimination in Boulder County, Colorado.
