The descriptions of the two suggested programs are listed below: Positive Youth Development and the Adolescent Brain Do you wonder when you look at the young people you work with, "What's going on in there, "or worry about the teenage years? Perfect for mentors, youth service providers, parents, and educators, Positive Youth Development and the Adolescent Brain provides new information about adolescent brain development and great tips for helping adolescents grow and develop in healthy ways. During this interactive session, you will: • Learn about brain research through a strength based lens, and how it can shape your work with youth; • Gain tips and ideas for helping adolescents to p/an and make hea/thy decisions, • Understand the growing importance of connecting to ado/escents'strengths, and • Gain valuable insights about setting clear boundaries and high expectations. Building Blocks of Brain Development Building Blocks of Brain Development is a great introduction to the connections between ear/y childhood brain deve%pment research and positive youth development. Research demonstrates that there are a number of factors which will impact the neurological development of a child. This session will explore brain development, including social and emotional development, through age five. Participants will learn: • how to create an environment to maximize brain development in the early childhood years; and • simple tips and techniques that help promote positive outcomes for young children. Needs Assessment: These two programs are much needed within the community because they provide new information and insight into early brain development and positive youth development that has not been presented before in Eagle County. In addition to being an informative program, it also provides attendees with additional resources that strengthen the way adults live and work with youth. Additionally, it allows networking to take place among those focused on working with youth in our local community. Goals and expected outcomes: The goal of these trainings is to provide information on brain development to Eagle County youth-serving professionals. The expected outcome is that those who attend will apply this information in their day-to-day work with youth, as well provide additional information that will allow us to assess the needs and better serve Eagle County youth. Additionally, the information covered in the training will aid in potential grants and future funding for youth serving organizations in Eagle County. Objectives and timeline for accomplishment: The objective of this training is to provide information on both early childhood and adolescent brain development to youth-serving professionals and interested community members within Eagle County. The two training sessions will be held on December 3, 2009. Target population and/or target area for the program/project: The target audience/population for this training will be extended to all those working with youth including: mentors, youth service providers, parents, and educators within Eagle County. Because there are two separate trainings, those attending can choose to either attend both-the teenage brain development session and the early childhood brain development session, or opt to attend only one if it is more appropriate for their expertise. Number of participants or beneficiaries: We are expecting 20 participants to attend and actively engage in this training. Program strategies/project activities and the use of evidence based practices: In a recently published evaluation report by OMNI Institute of the asset movement in Colorado, findings suggest that when the assets of youth are strengthened, so too is the community. Similarly, the framework encourages community leaders to recognize that community development is youth development, and that building healthier communities involves building on the assets of its youth. Underlying principles of the asset-building approach suggest that when community members acknowledge that youth are resources in communities and tap their potential, both the community environment and young people will be enriched with assets and benefit from the healthier behaviors that assets promote. We all benefit from investing in the future of our Eagle County youth. Community Partnerships: This- program is a partnership between Bright Start and the Eagle River Youth Coalition. It is also a collaborative venture with Assets for Colorado Youth, who are providing the training. Since the information covered here is also relevant to many in the field of working with youth, it will provide new partnerships to form on a community level.
