Jabali Youth Advocacy

This youth-led committee empowers young voices to be heard and amplified regarding substance abuse and prevention. The program supports youth leaders aged 14-17, including those at risk and system-involved, in building advocacy skills, creating messaging platforms, and taking action to address substance use in San Francisco.

Funding

Funding for this program comes from the San Francisco Department of Public Health in conjunction with opioid settlement funds and California State Mental Health Services Act funds.

 

Additional investment from private philanthropy is needed to expand youth overdose prevention services, including increased capacity for treatment with focused expertise on the unique needs of the Black/African American community.
