 Goals and Objectives  Tribal Youth  Partnerships  Programming  Impact

 Each of your programs, have a goal or an objective that you are working towards.  The goal or objective is to reduce, increase or educate.  Example A: Implement a plan that helps reduce DUI(s).  Example B.

 Reflect your scope of work, it can be viewed as your “inputs and outputs.”  Inputs- The work you do and the partnerships you create. The programming and activities you conduct under your program(s.)  Outputs- The visibility of your work. The programming you do also helps you create a base-line testing system. That can provide data, that reflects your progress.

 Why get the Tribal Youth involved???? ◦ Because Tribal Youth are the future of our tribes/communities, and their input is very valuable. Generation Help  “Tribal Youth” have unique ideas, and think out side of the box. They utilize technology and social media 10x more.  Creating a partnership with “Tribal Youth” helps you deliver your goal/objective at a faster pace. A partnership also gives the “Tribal Youth” a leadership role in their communities.

 When creating partnerships, seek out the programs that work with tribal youth; tribal youth programs, JOM, Title VII, educational/afterschool programs, behavioral health programs, and etc.  These programs will also provide you with youth who can serve as leaders.

 Intervention and prevention, these are two key points our program(s) operate on.  Be able to use these two key points in a approachable format. Thus, is where “Tribal Youth” can help develop a “game plan.”  Create events/projects that can relate the message clear, but also give an impact.  When creating events/projects, remember you are working with youth. It should provide a positive outlook and fun environment.
