Grantee: P.A.C.T. 4 Families Collaborative	Willmar, MN
Program: Partnerships for Youth Transition	SM54453
Congressional District: MN-02
FY 2004 Funding: : $500,000
Project Period: 09/30/2002 - 09/29/2006
PACT 4 Families (Putting All Communities Together) Collaborative is located 100 miles west of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, and serves the four rural counties of Renville, Meeker, Yellow Medicine, Kandiyohi, and the Upper Sioux Community. PACT 4 is organized through a joint powers agreement, consisting of the four counties, 14 public school districts, two charter and one private school, along with over 85 other partners. These partners have a nine-year history of working together to serve children birth to 21 and their families. The model chosen as PACT 4 Families' comprehensive youth program is the Transition to Independence Process (TIP) developed by Hewitt "Rusty" Clark, Ph.D. (Clark, 1993). This system prepares and supports youth and young adults in their movement into adult roles through an individualized process that: (1) teaches community-relevant skills; (2) encourages completion of secondary education; (3) provides exposure to community-life experiences; (4) Promotes movement into post-school employment, educational opportunities, living situations, and community life; (5) transcends the age barriers typical of child versus adult services, and; (6) Respects the self-determination of young people. (Clark 1993) In preparation for this grant, parents and youth agree that the Transition to Independence Process (TIP) is a good one, but state that it does not go far enough. Parents would enhance the model described by Clark above by adding: "the process at PACT 4 Families will respect the relationships young adults have with their families and will encourage continued or enhanced family involvement." Parents and youth BOTH need assistance to transition between the parent- driven, child focused wraparound system to the person-centered, client driven process recognizing that neither are separate from each other.
