Our Vision

The HASHPPAC will collaborate across diverse sectors of our community to develop a city-wide system that gives our youth hope for the future, and opportunity to reach their goals. The committee will work for providing medically accurate, comprehensive sexual health education to our youth. We will lay the foundation for providing Holyoke’s teens with the capacity for making healthy choices and the opportunity for accessible sexual health services and information. The accountability committee aims for a Holyoke that offers each youth a well rounded education, access to services, and community engagement that contributes to the success of our city and its residents.

July 2011 Update

The Task Force will be restructuring for the upcoming year and will be moving forward with implementing our findings and recommendations. We will meet in September to formulate our next steps and to develop a clear plan of action to accomplish our mission. We have convened for one year and would like to end our year with progress and a clearly laid out plan for lowering the teen birth rates in Holyoke.
