Roadmap of Need, Fall 2013
Forbes, Sarah; Hales, Lauren
Public School Forum of North Carolina
The North Carolina Center for Afterschool Programs (NC CAP) is an organization dedicated to increasing access to high-quality afterschool programs, especially for at-risk youth in North Carolina. In 2010, NC CAP created a roadmap of ten indicators to inform policymakers, funders and citizens of areas where North Carolina should make its largest investments in preventive care -- afterschool programs, health care, job programs and other key initiatives for youth success. Three years later, they revised and updated the Roadmap of Need to provide a more in-depth needs assessment for our state's youth. This new version contains contains twenty indicators of wellness in counties across North Carolina, divided into four categories: Health, Youth Behavior and Safety, Education, and Economic Development. The indicators contain relevant annual data in order to demonstrate need across North Carolina, with each indicator being used to identify where young people are most at risk of not succeeding, both in and out of school.
