There are many programs that provide good information to our kids, but they do not change behavior. Envision Your Future gets kids to make positive choices. I am recommending Envision Your Future to our State Prevention Specialists, youth at-risk programs, schools and to the juvenile justice system.                                                        Frank Magourilos, Senior  Certified Prevention Specialist, Santa Fe County                            

The Youth realize the intrinsic motivation needed to commit to creating a positive future, which leads to continuing their education, making life-giving choices, the building of developmental assets/individual protection factors, self-concept, self-control and social responsibility resulting in improved high school graduation rate, a significant decrease in school bullying, drugs, gangs, crime, teen pregnancy and teen suicide. Youth coming out of incarceration create a plan and develop the intrinsic motivation to keep on a positive path for life. Respect for: self, their parents, other adults, school, property and community.

Our youth cannot wait. They need the inner foundation, intrinsic motivation, support and guidance now to successfully move ahead.  Patty O'Sullivan, Ph.D.

Educators realize seeing their students value their education. Reduced negative and risky behavior. Safe and supportive class and school environment.

Students receiving Envision Your Future had fewer behavioral problems and performed better academically. It is clear these students are employing the intrinsic motivation to make positive choices in their lives. Dr. Melville L. Morgan, Deputy Superintendent, Santa Fe Public School District.

Parents realize the need for understanding their 21^st century children and the necessity to connect and improve communication.  Having a strong relationship leads our children to develop the social/emotional competency to successfully navigate school and life.

Adults working with youth and adjudicated youth programs realize positive responses from the youth and growth in maturity. Youth making healthy, life-giving choices. Reduction in negative and dangerous behavior. Respect for themselves and others. A reduction in recidivism.

We need to elevate our youth to be bigger than their problems. Patty O'Sullivan, Ph.D.
