"United For Youth” Inaugural Roundtable Brings Together Community for Collaborative Solutions
Through this groundbreaking process, two urgent challenges emerged that are deeply affecting our Broward County community: youth violence and mental health especially among teens.
Recognizing the importance of addressing these issues collectively, BGCBC convened its first-ever “United For Youth” Roundtable, a powerful gathering designed to spark collaboration, share insights, and take action for our youth.
The inaugural roundtable brought together an inspiring group of community leaders, educators, health systems, parents, law enforcement, and teens for a dynamic conversation centered on youth safety, empowerment, and education.
Together, participants identified two key action items , each aimed at empowering parents and equipping families to support their children in the digital age:
- Equip parents with the knowledge and tools to help youth navigate the online world safely.
- Launch engaging video resources with practical strategies families can use at home.
- Host forums and orientation sessions to connect parents, share experiences, and learn from experts.
- Establish Parent Support Groups tied to the digital safety campaign, providing ongoing guidance and connection.
- Encourage teen-generated videos that share authentic perspectives on responsible digital use and online safety.
The “United For Youth” Roundtable embodies what happens when communities come together collaboration becomes action, and action drives change. When we unite around a shared mission, we can create environments where every young person feels supported, protected, and ready to reach their full potential.
We want to thank our BGCBC Marketing and Communications Committee that include Board Members, Sara Noureddine of Florida Blue, Planned Growth and community partners, Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) for being involved in this important discussion.
