Community Engagement
Open Call
An open call is a form of crowdsourcing that focuses on engaging a broad array of people in a contest to contribute creative knowledge and generate fresh perspectives about a specific problem, followed by the sharing and implementation of exceptional ideas that are contributed, in collaboration with the community.
Teen Health 360’s community steering committee hosts an annual open call to engage the community (including youth, parents/guardians, teachers, services providers and community members) an open dialogue about communication and relationships with teens. The goal is to empower teens to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
