COOPERATIVE EXTENSION
YOUTH & FAMILIES

May 2006Families living in Delaware’s urban areas require educational programs and materials that address the specific quality of life issues that they face.

Young people who are identified as at-risk face many hurdles. In Delaware, these youths are mostly minority and low income, and they fail to gain the educational skills required to pass mandatory state tests.

Cooperative Extension designs and implements programs that teach Delaware residents how to become more involved in their communities, and that help young people develop the social and developmental skills they need for success in life.
