- Youth and adults will begin to have more positive attitudes toward the roles of youth in communities.
- Youth and adults will improve their abilities to collaborate with diverse community members to identify local issues and develop strategies for addressing these issues.
- More opportunities for youth and families in rural communities for positive youth development experiences during out-of-school time.
