Youth co-design:
Youth co-design: Lucero was co-created with youth. Navy Seals worked with youth from the Boys and Girls Club, which led to the creation of Lucero’s curriculum. Lucero then assembled a youth advisory team of dozens of diverse youth ages 8-18, who developed the design of the current solution. Youth leaders provide feedback and approval on all therapist-created content.
