These 13 youth have been very involved with several grant related Extension activities. They have had many contacts with staff and volunteers and are involved in several on going programs. All of the respondents are Native American. More participants will be evaluated as the next program year continues. This is the start of the evaluation process.
Youth are able to actively participate in groups as a result of their involvement with the project.
Youth have made a commitment to stay drug and alcohol free and maintain a minimum of average grades in order to participate in the program. Improv Troupe has reached over 2600 people in 20 performances with messages related to peer pressure, youth ethics, health issues, domestic violence, and substance abuse. Native American families are becoming more connected to the community through involvement.
