In five cities, we helped students and teachers conduct survey research about their own schools, supported dialogue and constructive action around their research results, and
nurtured youth leadership all along the way.
«By amplifying
youth voice and
nurturing inter-generational dialogue,» YMP notes, «students practice citizenry and
leadership to create positive and caring communities.»
In collaboration with county - based Extension offices and a local fatherhood organization, this project seeks to help fathers increase their parenting abilities and motivations to provide guidance and
nurturing to their children, to increase participant's knowledge of nutritional health, and to introduce
youth to 4 - H programming and to provide opportunities for
youth to develop life and workforce preparation skills (e.g.,
leadership, mastery, and self - determination).
