Dear Sarah,

In Allied Drive area, Youth Services of Southern Wisconsin is doing a cool
project with 14 year olds, cleaning the bike path and doing gardening at the
community garden. Also in Allied, a UW project is partnering with B&G to do
rain gardens. Bill Barker at UW could tell you about it. And I think that you
already know about Fawn's program at Troy - Farm and Field Youth Program.

Best,
Janet

Subject: [communityfoodandgardennetwork] Research project on community programs
for youth


Hi CFGN-ers!

I am writing you wearing my grad student hat to
request advice. Sam Dennis and I are in the beginning
stages of selecting case studies for a study on youth
development within community programs. Do any programs
spring to mind?

Specifically, we are looking for programs that are
-in Wisconsin
-include youth ages 12-18
-involve youth in community planning or environmental
care projects

Projects may be aimed at improving the physical
condition of the local community, for example:
gardening projects, park development projects,
community mapping, or open space planning; or caring
for the local environment, for example: monitoring
stream health, mapping urban forests, active
stewardship of natural areas.

Programs may be sponsored by school, scouting,
faith-based, tribal, or other groups in rural, urban,
or suburban settings.

At the end of our study, we will provide selected
programs with an independent program assessment, which
will be useful in self-evaluation and grantwriting.

Please let me know if you know of any interesting
programs that might fit these criteria. Thanks for
your help!
