The information in this slide show will acquaint you with what the Youth Task Force does and how we do it. I look forward to visiting with you in person to explore ideas on how you can help keep our community a Healthy Community for Healthy Youth! Mary Schissel Director, Mason City Youth Task Force 2620 S. Jefferson, Mason City IA PH: (641)

VISION: Youth and Adults working together to build a Healthy Community for Healthy Youth Many sectors of the community work together as we reach for our vision – EVERYONE has a role to play! The Youth Task Force has a good mix of new and experienced volunteers working together on coalition efforts.

PURPOSE: To assess the health of the community, to identify needs, to coordinate existing resources, and to create new resources to meet needs by focusing on prevention-related youth issues. Community partners are key to Youth Task Force success! Existing community resources work together to implement new strategies and projects identified through our community needs assessment process.

OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT SAYS…. Substance abuse reduction & prevention Ensuring young people have on-going relationships with caring adults Engaging young people in the community Are Priority Focus Areas through 2012

Watch & Support Areas Through 2012 Reduction and prevention of risk-taking sexual activity Reduction and prevention of delinquency and violence Addressing emotional health issues of youth

Enhancing our Celebration Areas – Things our community is doing well ….. Working to keep our graduation rate high. Helping youth be prepared for the workplace. Encouraging volunteering among young people and their families. Ensuring there are out-of-school time program opportunities for youth.

Using Research-Based Models Keeps Our Work on Target The Communities That Care model helps us target risks like substance abuse and violence The Positive Youth Development Asset Building model helps us build strengths like adult role models and bonding to school.
