The community response to Familias Unidas has been strong. Organizations interested in participating in the next Familias Unidas, to be hosted by St. Clement’s later this spring and focused on youth service organizations, already include RAYS, YMCA, and Mental Health America. Partners for Community Development continues to be a primary collaborator in this effort. The Positive Youth Development Educator is contacting all area youth organizations to invite youth and mentors to participate in leading this fair and learn more about their community in the process. In other news, the process of re-envisioning Youth Government Day has begun. The Positive Youth Development Educator is beginning discussions with area educators and others regarding new visions for this long-standing programming.
