"You for Youth is about you and the young people you nurture. But it's more than that. It's also a reflection of what we've heard from you. You asked for an online professional learning community that helps you connect with your colleagues and share what you've learned about best practices. You asked for professional learning opportunities in areas such as (1) supporting positive relationships with children and youth, (2) providing professional development and technical assistance opportunities, (3) creating partnerships, (4) managing your program, and (5) leading your staff. You asked for tools and resources to create positive experiences for the children in your programs and help them achieve their dreams. And guess what? Your priorities support the results of our research, which tells us that students who attend high-quality afterschool programs are more likely to do better in school, make positive choices about their health and well-being, and show improved communication and social skills with peers and adults."

"Substance use disorders have become common through the United States as rates of alcohol, opioid and stimulant use continue to increase. Unfortunately, Hawaii has been no exception to this trend, particularly when it comes to methamphetamines. While the situation may seem bleak in The Aloha State, there are a variety of Hawaii drug rehab centers and other local addiction resources available to those who need them. For individuals considering leaving the state for recovery, countless opportunities for healing can be found across the continental U.S. and beyond. Asking for help could be the first step on your (or a loved one’s) journey to wellness, whether you’re seeking alcohol or drug treatment in Hawaii."

"Providing children with a thorough understanding of financial literacy at an early age, is vital to ensure proper money management skills later in life. Setting a realistic budget, responsibly managing credit and debt, saving for unexpected expenses, and learning how to invest will all be important life skills for every young adult to master. Unfortunately, there are many students who enter into adulthood without entirely understanding how to manage their finances properly. Financial literacy is defined as a “meaning-making process”, in which individuals use acquired skills, external resources, and contextual knowledge to accurately process information and make competent decisions in regards to potential consequences of their financial decisions."
