Abstract
The results of a qualitative investigation into factors contributing to a highly effective collaborative youth-at-risk program between Nevada Cooperative Extension and several rural schools are presented. Responses and findings were grouped into six general areas: (a) local support provided by Cooperative Extension, (b) targeting a specific population of need, (c) community partners in the program, (d) low budgetary impact of the program, (e) program flexibility, and (f) giving schools program ownership. Methodology is discussed as well as implications for the findings. The research was conducted to help Cooperative Extension professionals that work with local schools.
