Youth World Education Project

Join the Movement

We have created and developed, "The Village", which is a network of diverse, established multi sector partners to connect/refer youth and parents to supportive services that build capacity to independently navigate systems. As our demands increase, we are always looking to collaborate with providers beyond school settings to include churches, clinics, group homes, etc. The goal is to promote optimal health amongst teens in a variety of settings to include where they live, work, play, and worship. Also, to be able to offer referrals for wrap around services. "The Village" operates as a community advisory board for our "Teen Circle Project" to include agencies, businesses, community leaders, youth, and parents, to name a few. We understand that one organization cannot do it alone nor are we trying to reinvent services that are already being offered and have funding yet are still looking for youth and family clients. This is in response to receiving requests from other organizations looking for youth to recruit. Partnerships types include:

Formal: Formal partners would include agencies that provide program implementation site(s), staff to be trained in adopted EBP to facilitate or co-facilitate with a YWEP staff or both. Implementation sites/staff would also support participant recruitment. Examples of implementation sites include but not limited to school, church, community center, group home, etc.

Strategic: Strategic partners would include agencies that are already implementing EBP for positive youth development, violence prevention, healthy relationships, teen pregnancy prevention, etc. Evidence based programs being implemented must have been proven effective through rigorous evaluation.

Supportive: Supportive partners would include agencies that provides services for participants to be referred to and/or support participant recruitment. Examples of supportive services would include but not limited to mental and behavioral health services, educational services, vocational education/workforce development, violence prevention, reproductive health care, etc.

Professional Development: Professional development partners would include agencies or individuals that provide trainings and/or technical assistance to staff, key stakeholders, community, and/or youth and families in the areas of but not limited to: youth trainings for peer educators, adolescent brain development, trauma-informed care, positive youth development, family/parent engagement, etc.
