No child left behind - Integrative Youth Development (IYD) in State School Policy.

The Alaska Initiative for Community Engagement is one of the only "Educating the Whole Child" funding examples in the federal Leave No Child Behind legislation. While this $14 million statewide initiative is a model for the nation, come learn about how one state (1) created capacity for the initiative, (2) worked with statewide policy makers to  build a bridge to the funding, (3) secured the funding, and (4) is  implementing the statewide initiative. This initiative has ramifications for every school district in the nation.

If you want to find a way to put children and youth first in your community, don’t miss this compelling workshop.
