Creating a Successful Youth Prevention Program

In our presentation, we’ll first describe two different scenarios for places to begin as a youth club. One scenario is an adult coalition looking to start a group, and they are looking for youth involvement to start a youth group. The second situation would be when there are youth interested in starting a group, but they need adult support and supplies. We’ll first talk about our past experiences: what has worked and what hasn’t. We’ll describe various things we’ve done to raise awareness and involvedness. Then we’ll go into detail on our three learning objectives. Since the learning objectives will vary with situation one and two, we’ll split all the learning objectives into two parts. In the end of our presentation, we will save a slot of time for a fifteen minute small group brainstorm session with all the other participants, and we’ll walk around and help pitch in ideas.
