The 100 Best Communities for Young People competition honors outstanding efforts on behalf of young people by multiple sectors of communities. In cities, suburbs, small towns and counties across the country, this annual competition is leading communities to assess their efforts, work more effectively together for young people, and share best practices. The City of Lakewood, and Lakewood's Promise, now are one of only 43 communities in the United States that has won this award three times in a row!
