Since 2019, Blue Zones Project Monterey County and STEPS have teamed up to create healthier communities and earn To***co Policy certification, helping make healthy choices easier for everyone. From tobacco-litter cleanups to city council engagement and prevention trainings, youth are driving real change. Through STEPS, over 7,000 Monterey County teens have gained leadership, confidence, and resilience against high-risk behaviors. Support their continued impact by donating to our MC Gives Big Idea!

Our community partners make a big impact on the work our STEPS youth leaders do; throughout the year our youth leaders work alongside PARTS Members who provide trainings and opportunities.

Why is the Safe Teens Empowerment Project important? Just ask our students: advocacy, knowledge, leadership, impact.

“It allows us to advocate for community and become more knowledgeable about these issues to create a positive impact regardless of the level.” -STEPS Youth Leader in Salinas
