New Youth Web site! : What is Youthhood.org?

"What is Youthhood.org? Youthhood.org (also known as The Youthhood) is a free, dynamic Web-based curriculum and tool to help youth set goals and plan for the future. Although the site addresses youth directly, it is intended to be used in classrooms, community programs, or any other settings where adults work with youth. The Youthhood includes information, interactive activities, and a wealth of other tools to help youth connect their future goals to their academic learning...The Youthhood is organized like a neighborhood. Each section of the neighborhood provides tools and information to help youth plan for the future. Those sections include -
* The High School helps youth explore how their schoolwork can support their
dreams and plans for the future. It also helps youth understand and plan for post-high school education, training, and employment opportunities.
* The Job Center encourages youth to explore their interests, identify their
skills, and discover what they still need to learn in order to achieve their
employment goals.
* The Community Center focuses on leadership, mentoring, and community
involvement and how development of skills and goals in these areas can lead
to post-high school success.
* The Hangout addresses belonging, friendships, and having fun. Youth learn
about themselves, their relationships with others, and things they can do
for fun in their free time.
* The Health Clinic focuses on health issues including managing health care
and preventing health problems. It also addresses disabilities and chronic
illness, health insurance, relationships, and sexuality.
* The Government Center outlines the rights of youth at school, at home, in
employment settings, and within the court system. This unit also addresses
legal rights gained at the age of majority.
* The Apartment helps youth explore the independence. This unit provides
information on being safe, budgeting, using public transportation, finding a
place to live, and more."
