Community Health Awareness

Empowering Youth with Knowledge & Choices

At YWCA Jamestown, we are committed to providing local youth with the knowledge, skills, and resources to make informed, responsible choices about their health. Through our Community Health Awareness Team (CHAT), we offer evidence-based programs that reduce the risk of teen pregnancy and promote healthy decision-making.
