The Live Well San Diego Youth Sector was added to the Live Well San Diego vision to Empower, Engage, and Amplify Youth Voice.

The Youth Sector framework was developed over the summer of 2020 and incorporates input from over 150 youth and youth-serving professionals. The sector was officially added to the Live Well San Diego vision when the San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved the framework in October 2020.
