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.
