Nothing About Youth Without Youth
A youth-led program hosted by Mountain Youth in which students across the valley use their voice to create positive change
About Us
Our Mission
Valley's Voice aims to provide 6th-12th grade students with
necessary resources and a platform to create community change.
Our Vision
Every youth is valued, heard and recognized for their expertise
and included in the hard work of bettering our community.
Our Values
- Creativity: Students are able to explore their own creativity while creating community projects.
- Passion: Students are committed to reaching the goals of their projects in order to make positive change.
- Leadership: Students are able to learn and apply leadership skills in order to empower and create well-rounded youth in our community.
- Inclusivity: Mountain Youth seeks to include all facets of Eagle County youth. Students will be able to see past their own biases and include underrepresented voices.
Our Strategies
- Empower: Youth are encouraged to be empowered by their community by being involved in committees and passion projects, in order to promote positive change.
- Educate: Valley's Voice empowers youth to take the expert role in educating the community about issues that are significant to them.
- Entertain: Host various events that are "For Youth, By Youth" in order to improve mental health and the overall quality of life for young adults in the Eagle River Valley.
