9-25 committee
The 9–25 Committee serves as the Community Board for the Communities That Care (CTC) initiative in the PACT for Families region. As the CTC board, this group guides the overall prevention framework, reviews local data, and helps set community priorities for children, youth, and young adults.
The committee uses data from PACT, as well as local and state surveys and research, to identify concerns affecting young people ages 9 to 25 across the five‑county area. Members work together to develop targeted initiatives that address these priority concerns. While the committee’s work centers on children and youth, its focus is on the issues themselves, not on any single age group.
In 2021, the Early Childhood Committee and the 9–25 Committee jointly identified the need to expand Early Childhood from birth to age 8. Both committees agreed this shift better reflects the developmental needs of children in our communities.
