When Youth Prosper, Everyone Does
This program is aimed at creating a hub in Florida to strengthen youth and families. PROSPER stands for PROmoting School-Community-University Partnerships to Enhance Resilience.
How We Ensure Florida PROSPERs
We have adapted the PROSPER model to ensure Florida PROSPERs. Our goal is strengthening youth and families through intentional community partnerships and scientific evidence-based programs intended to build up youth and support families.
Our Main Focus: Strengthening Communities
- Building networks. We aim to build mutual trust, accountability, and sustainability in your community through partnerships that matter.
- Strong families. We aim to give families the tools they need to succeed in our changing world through programs that focus on healthy communication and emotion management.
- Positive youth development. We aim to build up youth through positive youth development programs that focus on strengths, wellbeing, and skills that will support them for a lifetime.
- Community partnership. We partner with you, for you. You are the experts on your local communities. We partner with Extension agents and local leaders working with youth in your community to strengthen youth and families.
