At Risk Youth

Young people are at higher risks of engaging in risky behavior when they don't feel connected to their community. Kids who participate in after school programs and other community-based activities are more likely to make better choices and steer clear of risky behavior. We'll get an idea of how kids are behaving and what effect after-school programs have on their life course. Mike's guests are Whitney Schwartz, Director of New Heights, the Seacoast area's largest after-school program and Gretchen Bean, Program Coordinator for the Adolescence Resource Center at UNH.
