Make a Difference

Why your involvement matters

The New 3Rs: Rights, Respect, Responsibility involves the entire community in supporting young people and their capacity to make healthy decisions.

Whether you are a parent, health care professional, educator, faith leader, policy leader/influencer or young person, your participation can make a significant difference to youth today and contribute to the long-term vision of The New 3Rs. You may even wish to become a New 3Rs Advocate.

Individuals and professionals all across the spectrum tell us that The New 3Rs “resonates” — that it clearly articulates a host of shared values and ideas for putting those values into action.

They tell us The New 3Rs gives them a new perspective, a new intention, a new language for understanding what a powerful difference their work can make.

And here’s the magic of it: “getting involved” in The New 3Rs does not necessarily mean doing anything more! We hear time and again how The New 3Rs framework inspires people to think in new and positive ways about the work they are already doing to support youth and families.
