What people are saying about Building Partnerships for Youth
"Thanks to Building Partnerships for Youth, Abstinence Educators in North Carolina were able to visualize the relationship between abstinence and youth development. They became more familiar with the
characteristics of youth development and how these can be incorporated into their current abstinence education programs. We have even added BYP as a link to our website." |
"When our state was first approached by the University of Arizona [National 4-H Council] to be engaged in the project on healthy youth development, it didn't take us very long to decide that we wanted to focus on non-school-hour programming, because it really fits in perfectly with a lot of different efforts and interests in this area. It also fits in perfectly with a couple of resources we have in our state." |
"For the past eight months we have worked within our Hawaii Building Partnerships for Youth team very closely with Drs. Dan McDonald and Karen Hoffman Tepper from the University of Arizona. They have been providing us excellent consult and technical assistance and support. That has given us the opportunity to not only come together and talk about our partnerships and to strengthen non-school-hour programming, but to see a PowerPoint presentation that has been developed for this [event] to help move this [effort] forward in our state, in our communities, and in our schools." |
"I am so excited that this is available...I will use this at least every semester to choose new curriculum and I hope to use it with my staff and 4-H volunteers to program plan what skills we really need to work on with our youth. This is great. I can't wait to tell the other youth agencies in my community that this is available! PS The website is very well designed...my compliments to your webmaster." |
