VOLT: GENERATE MY HEALTHY FUTURE PLAN Hold a private conversation or series of conversations on healthy future between a health educator(s) and all or some program youth. Intermediate/facilitate a youth-parent conversation on the youth and family’s healthy future. Organize a “Generate My Healthy Future Plan” meeting for youth-parent or youth-caring adult pairs to have healthy future conversations with your program youth. Organize a community-wide “Generate My Healthy Future Plan” campaign for youth, youth-caring adult pairs, and youth-health professional pairs to have healthy future conversations with all youth in the community (or all youth of a subset, such as all 15-yearolds, all youth living in a particular neighborhood, etc.). Develop a group health promotion activity for your program youth (provided you design the session so as not to lead to youths’ disclosure of personal health information). Incorporate content, in full or in part, into organization’s life skills program or activities. Incorporate content, in full or in part, into school’s health education curriculum.
