Youth Development Network CHARGE
To create a collaborative youth development network that increases the capacity of community agencies and organizations to provide prevention and intervention services and activities to all youth. OBJECTIVES
1. Referral Network: Develop a seamless referral network that refers all youth that need services/activities to the appropriate services, sometimes on an agency-to-agency basis. 2. Information Sharing: Provide opportunities for service providers to share information about the services/activities they provide. 3. Educating the Community: Educate the community about the YDN and the need for positive youth development activities. 4. Engagement of Youth: Identify, engage and sustain youth in positive activities. THE REFERRAL NETWORK (1-800-YDN-2021)
The YDN Referral Network is a free local hotline that will help youth get connected to local resources. It is available between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday with trained staff and volunteers who will respond to the calls. We will help callers get connected to the many activities and services available in the Charlottesville/Albemarle community. Contact Ann Emery or Rebecca Sayre, the Youth Development Coordinators at 243-7923 or ydn at albemarle.org for more information. YOUTH ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
