Advertise low- or no-cost youth programs

Clearly communicate the availability of low- or no-cost youth programs

According to the needs assessment, many respondents said their children don’t participate in existing programs due to cost. However, there are a good number of programs that are free or very low-cost, and more clearly communicating their availability will enable more young people to engage in positive and fun activities.
