Publications – Assessment Tools and Reports for Local Community Leaders

Wisconsin Youth Futures Community Assessment Tools

These inventories can help citizens develop prevention plans tailored to the needs of youth in their neighborhood or hometown. Community residents assess which resources and supports are in place and which are missing; in this way, prevention strategies can be targeted to the gaps that exist locally.
