State
Youth Development Collaboration Projects
In September 1998, the Family and
Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) announced the award of more than $1
million in State Youth Development Collaboration Projects. FYSB
awarded the funding to nine States to develop and support innovative
youth development strategies. Each of the following States received
a grant of $120,000: Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New York, and Oregon. In
September 2000, FYSB awarded State Youth Development Collaboration
Project grant funding to an additional four States: Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, and Louisiana.
Each State has designed a unique
plan for implementing the project on the basis of identified youth
needs and prior State activities with regard to youth development.

original nine projects' plans and a
description of the four FY 2002 projects' proposed plans.
In addition, the National Clearinghouse
on Families & Youth (NCFY) published a FYSB Update describing
the original nine projects and the November 9–10,
1998, FYSB Forum of the State Youth Development Collaboration Projects.
The update is available in
HTML or Adobe
Acrobat. (To view the Adobe Acrobat version of the update,
you must first download and install the free Acrobat
Reader, if you have not previously done so.)
The original nine projects came together
again in February 2000 and 2001, with the four new projects, to
share information on their work in progress. Click here for
highlights of some of the original projects'
first- and second-year
activities.
More recently, in February 2002,
FYSB convened a meeting of the 13 State projects to discuss the
following topics, which the States previously identified as areas
of both interest and concern: youth participation, marketing
and message development, collaboration, and project evaluation.
Through these discussions of the
projects' experiences, FYSB has compiled information about the
lessons learned to date by the projects.
