YOOT Community Calendar
What’s happening across Memphis to support youth, families, and those navigating substance use and recovery? This is where we gather it.
The YOOT Community Calendar is a shared space for events, trainings, conversations, and opportunities that center youth well-being and address the root causes of substance use and overdose in our community. From harm reduction trainings to youth-led gatherings, from school-based events to community conversations—if it supports connection, awareness, or care, it belongs here.
This calendar reflects what YOOT is built on: collaboration, shared knowledge, and the belief that everyone has something to contribute. We know that no single organization can do this work alone—and that the most meaningful change happens when we can see and support one another’s efforts.
