Communities That Care (CTC)

Vision Statement

Brookings strives to be a community rooted in safety, belonging, and positive relationships to empower youth.

What Is Communities That Care?

Led and operated by a Brookings community board, The Communities That Care (CTC) framework takes a practical, evidence-based, outcome-focused approach that involves the whole community in promoting positive youth development for Brookings middle and high school aged youth.

Using the SEARCH Institute student survey data collected by the Brookings School District, the community board is able to identify risk and protective factors of Brookings youth and implement targeted evidence-based programming to promote healthy youth behaviors.
