Youth Development Programs:

Are designed to meet the needs of youth and the adults who’s efforts shape their lives. They include:

• The Southwest Wisconsin Youth Survey (SWYS) – (Formerly known as the Teen Assessment Project or TAP) examines what Lafayette County and other Southwest Wisconsin teens are saying about their concerns, attitudes, perceptions and behaviors. Go to the Southwest Wisconsin Youth Survey’s web site. The timeline for September 2005 survey is online.

• Suicide Prevention – Click here developing partnerships to engage Lafayette County residents in suicide prevention. As a result of this effort the Prevent Suicide Wisconsin-Lafayette County is working in Lafayette County.
