The Conversation on Youth Development in the 21st Century was convened around the nation to draw together youth and adults to discuss youth development priorities at the local, state, and national levels. Convened by the local 4-H program and involving community partners from outside 4-H, county conversations were held in 38 of Florida's 67 counties between October 2001 and February 2002. Counties sent delegates (typically three youth and one adult) to the State Conversation on Youth Development on January 12, 2002 in Gainesville. Participants at the state and county level discussions were split into focus groups and led by facilitators through a series of questions to help them discuss priorities within these five critical theme areas: power of youth; access, equity, and opportunity; extraordinary places to live and learn; exceptional people, innovative practices; and effective organizational systems. The critical difference between county and state discussions was a focus on what could happen at a state level to support youth development priorities emerging from county conversations on youth development. Therefore, the state conversation identified state priorities, and the county conversations identified action items. (The document contains lists of ideas and state priorities identified at the state meeting and action ideas identified at the county meetings.) (YLB)
