Ohio Youth-Led Collective

What is the Ohio Youth-Led Collective?

The Ohio Youth-Led Collective is a statewide initiative dedicated to expanding youth-led prevention programs across Ohio. Funded by the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health, the collective brings together youth, adult allies, and organizations to strengthen prevention efforts, reduce substance use and suicide among young people, and help youth create lasting change in their communities.

Through statewide collaboration, training, and shared resources, the Ohio Youth-Led Collective supports emerging and existing youth-led groups in building leadership skills, implementing effective prevention strategies, and connecting with others who are passionate about making a difference.
