Grant Projects
We are currently working with 15 of our Partner Communities on
grant projects supporting:
- Diversion to Assets: Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
pilot program in five largely urban communities to identify
and develop asset building resources for first time juvenile
offenders.
- College-Community
Mentoring Project: expanding mentoring programs
in six college communities, pairing trained college students
with children and youth in need of extra support in their surrounding
communities.
- Assets-Getting To Outcomes
for Maine (A-GTO 4 ME): a control-group
research study with 12 communities to explore the impact
of the Getting to Outcomes planning process, paired with
the Developmental Asset Approach, on prevention capacity
and improved alcohol and drug outcomes among youth.
- A Coordinated School Health Program Approach to Building Assets
in Schools and Communities: Portland and Boothbay are developing
strategies to increase the number of positive influences in
students’ lives
in order to increase their chances of academic and social success,
including increased youth empowerment and positive school climate.
