East End Partnership for Youth to Create Electronic Map of Local Assets For Youths

The East End Partnership for Youth, a coalition of youth serving agencies in the five East End Townships, recently announced that they will be creating an electronic map of “assets for youth and families”.

This resource will list programs, services, and activities that are available to children, youth, and families in a way that will make it easy to locate necessary or wanted resources, see if they fit the need, and learn how to access them.

Information about location, clientele served, costs, and how to get more information will be included on the map.

The plan is to not only have the map of resources available online, but to create an app that can be used on phones and tablets.

The East End Partnership is asking all youth organizations to register their programs and activities and be included in the asset map.

The map will include the following services: Daycare, Education/Tutoring, Substance Abuse Prevention/Treatment, Adolescent Health, Mental Health Treatment/Counseling, Domestic Violence/Child Abuse, Employment, Volunteer Opportunities, Cultural Programs, Religious Organizations, Recreation Programs, and Sports Leagues.

To register a youth program, just visit www.southamptontownny.gov/youthbureau and click on the East End Youth Asset Map Service Listing Form at the top of the page.

Fill in all the fields and click submit.

There is no cost to submit a listing, and there will be no cost to access the map.

The deadline for submissions is Dec. 31, 2015. The map should be available for use by the spring of 2016.
