The Pima County Health Department awarded eight mini-grants through a new initiative called New Pathways to Health and Well-being for Youth. Each mini-grant proposal is for $9,999.
Each mini-grant will focus on improving outcomes for historically marginalized young people. The awardees will promote young people’s health, mental health and aspirations as Pima County moves toward a post-pandemic recovery from COVID-19.
“Having youth be part of solutions in a really meaningful way is important for our community,” said Eddie Diaz, who leads the Health Department’s Health Disparities program. “Young people aren’t always included in developing solutions but engaging them in this way acknowledges their stakes in the future and empowers them.
