Programs: Rural Youth Development: Youth In Governance

Welcome to the Rural Youth Development program resource page for Youth in Governance and Youth/Adult Partnerships. Our goal in developing this webpage is to provide your staff and volunteers, youth and adults, with a centralized source of useful information to support your projects in rural communities.

During Engaging Youth, Serving Community year 1, twenty-six out of the fifty-two projects funded involved programs that seek to achieve these common goals:

• To help youth in rural areas gain the skills, experience, and confidence needed to emerge as effective leaders and contributing members of society.
• To develop the abilities of youth and adults in rural areas to work with diverse partners in their partners toward common goals.
• To increase the numbers of youth in rural communities who become engaged in community problem solving via governance and partnership with adults in community organizations and agencies.
