Decrease the drop-out rate Program Goals and Objectives We have three overarching goals that address our three main target groups: parents, youth, and the community. 1. To provide support and education for parents that empowers them to talk openly and listen objectively. 2. To provide youth with the information and tools needed to make healthier choices and avoid risky situations. 3. To foster collaboration among community, parents, and youth. We are a group of concerned citizens and providers. At today's meeting we will give an update on our numerous activities with the main focus on planning for our Summer Youth Conference
