Health: Ongoing partnerships with youth leaders in Lawrence, Orange, and Greene County with Youth Development and Public Health Students
Project abstract
Through the Sustaining Hoosier Communities (SHC) program three of my classes have partnered with youth leaders to develop and deliver a variety of tools designed to support positive youth development in three SHC counties. Throughout these engagements over 330 students have engaged in practical application specific to the learning goals for two courses: F150 Introduction to Lifespan Development and F180 Survey of Practice with Youth and Families
Fall 2017 - Lawrence County Community Garden - 150 Lesson Plans, Marketing Plans, and Fund-Raising Plans each customized to a specific age group with measurable learning outcomes
Spring 2019 - Greene County Community Garden - 33 Lesson Plans for youth engagement in the garden, directed toward four periods of development, with measurable learning outcomes
Fall 2019 - 100 Lesson Plans to support the topics as identified by the Greene County Youth Council
