Welcome to Community Youth Connections! Our project addresses community needs of children, youth and families in rural and urban communities through the development of community systems and processes that support positive youth development. With youth, families, and community partners, this project builds community capacity to provide quality youth development experiences in community-based, afterschool settings. Young people participate in non-formal educational programs to support their academic goals and develop skills to become stronger citizens in their communities. The projects build on the assets of children, youth, families and communities and engage community members through partnerships and collaborative efforts.
Afterschool program sites are located in Crisfield , Maryland , Kitzmiller, Grantsville and Friendsville , Maryland and Frederick , Maryland. Additionally, the project includes
UDC Reads, the University of the District of Columbia Cooperative Extension Service’s afterschool literacy program created to break the chain of illiteracy that ties people to poverty. Statewide the project is supported by Maryland Cooperative Extension (MCE) faculty in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the College of Health and Human Performance, Department of Family Studies at the University of Maryland College Park and MCE faculty at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore .
Community Youth Connections
is supported by a
CYFAR grant from the United States Department of Agriculture/Cooperative State Research Education and Extension Service.
