I think it is great that people work with our youth and take the time for them.
The Youth Services Website
The Youth Services Website would be an excellent resource and I am all for it. Sometimes there is a lack of knowledge of what services are available out there. This would help out tremendously.

I think this sounds like a great idea. The youth of today can always use guidance as they progress from children into adults. This sounds very beneficial for them!

The youth are our future!!!

This sounds like a way to reach out to kids that they are fimilar with.

I think this website would greatly assist the community in finding assistance for their needs. The majority of the Dubuque population does not know what services are provided. This would provide a one stop shop instead of making phone calls all day.
Access to assistance
I am so excited to see this Vision unfold and help more youth transition into adulthood successfully. There are so many opportunities available that many of us that work with this group of people did not now about or how to access them. I have already had the opportunity to assist a group of students overcome some common barriers to further education by connecting with one the agencies involved with this committee. As we continue to make this information available to all and keep it up-to-date, we will only have more success stories.
Youth Services Website
Excellent idea! The Youth Services Website would create an increased awareness of youth services within the community and improve the connection for each youth with the individual services that they need. Benefits could include increased high school graduation rates, reduced ricidivism for youth offenders, improved supportive services, and enhanced education/training opportunities.
Our community has been
Our community has been recognized for outstanding work with our youth, however, we realize that there are many gaps in providing direction to ALL youth especially those who seem to fall through the cracks. The Shared Vision Team has pulled together a comprehensive listing of services available to young people that include projects such as aftercare for aged out foster children, vocational and technical opportunities for high school dropouts, GED assistance, college opportunities, medical and dental care, housing and many more. This project will help provide a tool to bring the information to those who can gain from it the most. It allows providers to focus their efforts and shrinking funds on meeting needs of those we serve rather than developing and maintaining a website.
Great idea
A great opprotunity and youth friendly idea to inform about resources in the community
Youth Connections
This is a great way for the community to help youth get connected with local, state, and national resources. Our community has many wonderful programs and services, and this would enhance the accessibilty of the resources available here in our community. This database would empower youth to search out services and programs that interest them and would benefit their future.
Service providers in the community would greatly appreciate the organization of this information. Providers could work with youth and support youth in their 'search' for resources. This database has the potential to impact hundreds of youth and service providers.
