Join AmeriCorps as we showcase our research and evaluation investments in youth interventions that touch a variety of issues including:

Friends of the Children is empowering youth facing the greatest obstacles with a long-term, paid, professional mentor, called a Friend, from ages 4-6 through high school graduation. 12+ years – no matter what.
	Shape NC model is implementing best practices to promote early childhood nutrition, physical activity, and outdoor play and learning
	The Gain Opportunities to Achieve Lasting Success (GOALS) project examines the implementations and preliminary impact of an enhanced version of the family check-up model to support families with children 0-5 living in vulnerable communities. This project expands the evidence-based family check-up model with increased use of technology-based supports and community-wide service engagement.
	Great Families 2020 is a two-generational community and neighborhood building model to support workforce development and early childhood education to close the gap on generational poverty.**Closing Remarks:** Katy Hussey-Sloniker, MBA, MSW, LGSW, AmeriCorps/ORE

**Q&A Discussion:** Facilitated by Andrea Robles, PH.D., AmeriCorps/ORE
