How does the Initiative provide technical assistance to demonstration sites?
The Initiative provides technical assistance to sites as they work to effectively implement the site-level strategies. The Initiative provides access to the ideas, people, skills, effective examples and learning opportunities sites need to expand opportunities for young people. Sites receive customized technical assistance based on their needs and available resources. The Initiative also brings together the ten sites for convenings, workshops and trainings that are specifically focused on improving implementation of the site-level strategies. And because much of the expertise being developed resides in the sites, the Initiative facilitates ongoing peer-to-peer learning through listservs, conference calls, and peer matches. Evidence-based and promising practices are gleaned from these technical assistance activities and shared among the sites and with the broader field.
