An at-risk community refers to a group of people who are considered more vulnerable or susceptible to negative outcomes, such as poverty, violence, or health issues. At-risk communities can be defined in many ways, including by their socioeconomic status, age, race, ethnicity, geographic location, or other factors. Common examples of at-risk communities may include low-income neighborhoods, rural areas, communities with food deserts, high crime rates, or those with limited access to healthcare and education.

Supporting youth from at-risk communities  involves addressing the underlying causes of their vulnerability and providing targeted resources and interventions to help them overcome the challenges they face. Together we can  connect, engage and empower our youth, and help make life a little sweeter!
