Duarte Youth and Family Master Plan

In 2009/2010, an Advisory committee made up of 26 community members spent countless hours and received input from thousands of residents as they formulated a plan to improve programs, services, and facilities for youth and families over the next 5-10 years. Duarte's Youth and Family Master Plan (YFMP) details an Action Plan, which summarizes the steps necessary to implement a community vision for Duarte's youth and families. The plan was adopted on July 26, 2010 and utilizes a three-prong approach. The first approach is aimed at mobilizing, energizing, and informing, the community; the second approach focuses on creating a unified and coordinated system of family and youth activities, support and opportunities; and the third approach provides for coordination and monitoring to ensure full implementation of the Action Plan. Duarte's YFMP provides a blueprint to lead our community to become more healthy, nurturing, and supportive of our youth and families.
