In the mid-90s, the California Center for Civic Participation began developing programs to prepare young people to take a leadership role in public policy. This approach offers long-term support to youth as they identify and tackle challenges in their own communites, then work with peers and adults to affect changes. Today their Policy Leadership Programs continue to address topics that directly affect the lives of young people including many aspects of adolescent health, and planning for a sustainable future.  Because of new partnerships, they now participate not only in short-term education programs, but in initiatives that will span a decade.
