Youth are trained to use the internet and have an opportunity to use the internet at several different community sites. Career activities are included in the training. Four ten-week sessions were completed in the Lander County during the reporting period. The parenting component helps parents reinforce concepts taught in the program. Three, two-hour parent education meetings are offered in addition to a parent postcard curriculum.
Parents participate in an orientation meeting and program graduation.
