Communities That Care
Communities That Care (CTC) is a
risk-focused and evidence based approach for promoting positive development
among youth. CTC works by mobilizing and empowering communities to gather in
order to enhance positive youth development and reduce risk factors that are
shown to increase the likelihood that youth will be involved in problem
behaviors such as delinquency, substance abuse, school drop-out violence and
teen pregnancy.
The CTC process promotes positive
youth development by enhancing comprehensive strategies to build protection,
improve opportunities for meaningful youth involvement in communities, and
reduce risk factors as they exist in a community.
With strong community buy in and
commitment to implement proven strategies, CTC has become a viable process for
community action planning. This process provides the tools and resources for
youth, community members at large and youth serving agencies to successfully
engage together in the business of helping our youth grow into good citizens.
Currently, Communities that Care is
working in three communities in Berks County:
