These youth will be trained to provide on-going afterschool, weekend and summer activities for children living in Rosemount's high density, low income, multi- family housing complexes. 2) School age children k-5 in the target area will have the opportunity to develop positive healthy relationship with high school students. Participants will be involved in hands on experiential activities. 3) High School volunteers will gain valuable work skills in the human service and recreation delivery fields. In addition, all volunteers will receive training in CPR, First Aid, Conflict Resolution, Cooperative Lessons, and Leadership Development. The Community Resource Coordinator for the Rosemount Partnership Program will supervise this project with in-kind and cash resources supplied by the Minnesota Department of Education's Crirne Reduction Grant.
