A
state-wide group from the eleven Safe
and Successful Youth Initiative (SSYI) communities toured Greater
Fall River Re-creation Headquarters. Program Director Annemarie
Holly showed the group the location for the YouthBuild Program, the SSYI and Shannon
Grant Program headquarters, the High Step Program, and the Family
Service Association Family
Resource Center, all located at 45 Rock Street. SSYI youth are
connected to each of these programs as part of their program. Following
the tour, the group went to the Boys
and Girls Club to participate in a meeting about effective practices around the state. The Safe and
Successful Youth Initiative uses a positive youth development model to
reduce youth violence at a community level. This includes
identifying gaps in service needs and resources and establishing a
statewide consensus around measures of success. The project was developed
through the Healthy Youth Task Force that Partners sponsors.
