Ours was the only grant funded in Minnesota. Mentoring and other prevention programs are included in the work plan for this grant. The requests from families and agencies far exceed the resources. Future programming of positive youth development activities depends on securing funds to remove the barriers of cost, transportation, facilities and qualified staff. The counties served have experienced the flood of '97 and the ongoing farm crisis.
Efforts are underway to secure funding through local partnerships listed above.
Success has occurred in collaborative grant applications.
