What the activity shows
Practical life-skills experiences—from respectful communication to obtaining state identification—helped youth practice independence and prepare for adulthood.
CAP objectives
Goals reflected in local activities.
These were the three most common objective tags in the affiliate's 2025-2026 activities and events.
Life skills & prevention

Safer environments
Communities use service, advocacy and shared events to improve public spaces, access, safety and school climate.
