Addendum U6 <br />COMMUNITIES IN COLLABORATION COUNCIL <br />The mission of the CICC is to promote collaborative planning and development among all aspects of the community in order to build assets for our <br />youth and families. <br />The CICC’s mission to promote the development of assets in youth and families is based upon the 40 developmental assets established by the Search <br />Institute of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Search Institute ’s research has demonstrated a strong correlation between the presence of assets in youth <br />(i.e., a family life that provides high levels of love and support, schools that provide a caring encouraging environment, young people who are given <br />useful roles in the community) and the decrease in high-risk behaviors (i.e., use of alcohol or drugs, early sexual activity, possession or use of a <br />weapon). <br />In 1998 - 1999 the CICC collaboratively accomplished the following: <br />INITIATIVE CICC COLLABORATORS #’s TOUCHED IN CICC SERVICE AREA <br />PareiKing with Vision <br />(parenting series) <br />Support received from the PTA/PTO Liaison <br />Council, HealthSystem Minnesota, Lutheran <br />Brotherhood, Community Education, <br />Wayzata Public Schools <br />Average attendance: 200 parents at each of five <br />seminars <br />('onwiHuily Directory <br />(directory of community resources) <br />Information provided by numerous <br />community organizations including Hennepin <br />Library, Ridgedale YMCA, Plymouth Park <br />and Recreation, Plymouth Westside Players, <br />etc. <br />475 parents <br />Parenting Those Wonderful df Crazy Kids <br />(parenting forum) <br />Workshops led by experts who volunteered <br />their time from the Wayzata Public Schools, <br />local counseling services.
