wonderful volunteer outreach! CBY Teens provided workshops at Stand By Me

CBY
teens presented information about CBY at a workshop during the national Big Tent Conference in Houston,
TX on November 18, 2010! They shared with participating youth and adults how CBY works and provided education as to how to develop positive assets within their
own groups. This was an outstanding opportunity for our students, and they provided a wonderful interactive session in addition
to a positive presence throughout their travels and stay in Houston.
CBY teens
recognized with "Youth in Action Award" from New Futures!
October 13, 2010 our CBYers were honored at a reception in Manchester as part of New Futures' 12th
Annual Leadership Recognition and Awards Celebration for the State and local levels! CBY members received a plaque in recognition
of their contributions.

Our
mission is to support the well-being of Bedford youth by promoting community strategies that develop assets in children. Assets
are the protective characteristics that have been linked by extensive research to enhancing resistance to at-risk behaviors.
