Extractions: The Colorado Rural Development Council is a part of the National Rural Development Partnership, originally the National Initiative for Rural America started by the Bush Administration in 1990. Since that time, the grassroots oriented State Rural Development Councils (SRDCs) have expanded from the original 8 councils to 40. National Rural Development Partnership Colorado began the task of forming its Council in February 1993 when Governor Romer convened a statewide Conference on Rural Development. A 30 member Interim Steering Committee was created from the over 300 attendees to formulate a method by which Council would be formed. In 2003 CRDC reorganized its governace structure with a new Board of Directors including federal representatives from USDA-Rural Development, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, and US Forest Service, state representatives from DOLA, Governor's Office of Economic Development, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and CSU Cooperative Extension, and locally includes four local community members.

Extractions: Many communities, state agencies, local governments, schools and civic groups have recognized the need for involvement of young adults in policy and decision making processes at a local, regional and statewide level. Organizations such as the Colorado Rural Development Council (CRDC) and Colorado Center for Healthy Communities are working to directly involve youth in the process of community decision-making. Many recognize the need to provide youth with the tools and resources needed for them to become well-rounded, educated, productive members of their communities. Rural areas, in particular, are concerned with grooming their youth to become future community leaders. Investigations show there are currently an astounding number and variety of programs targeted toward youth in Colorado. However, there appears to be little awareness of the depth, nature and availability of these programs and resources. In fact, access to information about these programs emerges as an important need for many communities, agencies, parents and young people. The vision for the Colorado Youth Resource Directory was to create a highly searchable, interactive on-line database of youth programs. The database was designed be very user-friendly, allowing program leaders to self-enter program information. To keep the database current and self-sustaining, bi-annual email messages will automatically be sent to program coordinators, reminding them to update their program information.

Extractions: SSI is one of the few organizations in the country implementing workshops on K-12 science education for scientists, engineers, and the professionals who facilitate their involvement in Education and Public Outreach (EPO). Why is learning about K-12 Education and Public Outreach important to scientists? Bruce Alberts, president of the National Academy of Sciences, is on record as a strong advocate of scientists becoming more actively and effectively engaged in K-12 science education reform. In addition, research directorates of funding agencies like NASA and NSF are increasingly encouraging (and in some cases requiring) the integration of science and education and greater scientist involvement in EPO. For example, every NASA Office of Space Science flight project proposal is now required to include an Education and Public Outreach segment budgeted at 1-2% of mission cost. The NSF Geosciences Directorate recently published a strategy for education and is also strongly encouraging the scientists it funds to become more involved in EPO activities. Our workshops can be very valuable in support of your EPO efforts. We can assist you with forging an appropriate link between the science and EPO components of your professional activities and with identifying appropriate EPO roles for scientists.
