about the youth Board

The Childhaven Youth Board was created in 2010 to give youth ages 13-18 the opportunity to impact and create change in their communities and support the mission of Childhaven. This year the Youth Board has committed to raise over $5,700 to support: 

- A 10-week training series that will allow Childhaven teachers to learn from and consult with Dr. Bruce Perry, one of the nation’s leading experts in the long-term effects of childhood trauma.  The training will give teachers a better understanding of how to best help the children in their classroom overcome the unpredictability, violence and chaos they’ve experienced. 

- The installation of an awning cover for an infant play area.  The awning will provide a safe and convenient space for infants to play year-round.  Outside play is a key element in helping infants develop their gross motor and social interaction skills.   


Applications for the 2012-2013 Youth Board will be available in April 2012. For more information, contact Randi Bagley at randib@childhaven.org.
