TranslateDCHS envisions a community where all of Alexandria’s children and youth succeed today and tomorrow. The Children & Youth Master Plan (CYMP) establishes long-term, community-wide priorities for youth and the specific action steps necessary to realize those priorities through the coordination, alignment and delivery of effective services to all Alexandrian children and youth from birth to 21 years-old and their families.
Goals and Strategies
Learn about the Plan's strategies and goals to ensure that all children and youth are healthy and safe, academically and vocationally prepared, and socially and civically connected.
Priority Areas and Work Groups
CYMP work groups provide multiple opportunities to impact and improve the lives of Alexandria’s children and youth. Read about how work groups are achieving the goals and strategies of the Plan.
Trauma Informed Community Network
TICNs help to connect practice across disciplines and help to identify gaps and how policies can be implemented. Learn more about RAISE, Alexandria's TICN, and how you can be involved.
