Are you looking for a way to engage youth and adults in an educational and creative manner? How about a method of sharing the asset message with your entire community? Or a strategy to get local media involved in your initiative?
The Lane County Prevention Program of Lane County, Oregon asked youth and adults in their community to write an article from their own vantage point about one of the assets. From September 2005 to September 2006, the Eugene Register-Guard published two or three of these asset articles a month.
This simple strategy allows you to easily involve the media in asset building, get youth and adults involved, and spread the asset message to the entire community. Contact your local newspaper and get started today!
