The past month was probably the most successful for my VISTA project so far. While this was due in no small part to the groundwork of the previous months, over the course of only the last few weeks I trained (trainers and students), recruited volunteers, made new community contacts, and produced media.

This is a great link for anyone working with youth. It's a list of 40 Developmental Assets as compiled by the Search Institute... you can check out their site for other youth surveys, studies, and information.

Looks like I'll be learning how to use Audacity to do some music editing with charter high school students in Middleton, I'm excited to learn more about it!
