The Western Racine County Youth Board is a collaborative project of Racine County Youth As Resources and the University of Wisconsin Extension. Funding for this initiative comes from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. Additional support for the Western Racine County Youth Board comes from the Racine Community Foundation. Youth and adults feel more connected to their community.
Adults begin to view youth as community resources.
Youth and adults from schools, churches, agencies, businesses work together. The community benefits from projects which accomplish important results. The community gains outstanding citizens. The Western Racine County Youth Board currently has 19 members representing the communities and surrounding areas of Burlington, Union Grove and Waterford. The first deadline for this board's operation is Feb. 14, 2001.
