About Us
WHO WE ARE
 

Partners for Healthy Youth is a community-wide effort to engage Kettering adults and youth in working together to build a healthy community where all young people can grow and succeed.

Our focus is on building character/developmental assets, while promoting a network of resources and initiatives to address the needs and issues facing Kettering’s youth and families.

Partners for Healthy Youth is a collaborative effort founded jointly by the Kettering City Council and the Kettering School Board. It is led by an advisory board made up of representatives from a wide variety of sectors throughout the community, including city, school, church, business, social service and recreation representatives, as well as members of the Kettering Youth Council.
