Abstract

Do you think you have great programs, yet youth are not participating? Are they staying away because they do not know or cannot afford to come? Or do they not come because they do not want to? This session explored reasons youth do not participate in different programs or activities and examined strategies to encourage their involvement. Approaches for identifying and accommodating youth needs were presented. Why are we here at the Symposium? I firmly believe we must address the "whys" and "why nots" before we can more accurately and effectively address the "how to."
