The Northern Territories Youth and Communities Strategy is the foundation of large-scale system and policy change to improve outcomes, better align resources and strategies across governments, and empower youth and their communities to lead change efforts. This new pan-territorial project will incorporate traditional knowledge; collective experiences and understanding; local assets; and existing efforts to create a youth and community centered strategy to ensure youth have a sense of belonging, sense of self, and the confidence to make healthy life and learning choices.
