Advisory Board

Working closely with the Management Response Team, the Young Men’s Initiative Advisory Board provides input and guidance on the implementation of the YMI Action Plan and the design and evaluation of YMI initiatives. The Advisory Board provides feedback on recommendations from City project managers regarding: 1) benchmark and outcome measures that will be used to evaluate the success of YMI; 2) areas of future work; and 3) communication strategy for external stakeholders. The Management Response Team leaders work to ensure that the Advisory Board is briefed fully and in a timely manner about the funding, implementation and progress towards the goals of the YMI.
