Welcome to Coalition
for Bedford Youth! CBY Teens to Present at National Conference! CBY teens have been selected as presenters at a national youth conference conducted by Search
Institute in Houston, TX this November. They will share with participating youth and adults how CBY works and provide education as to how to develop positive assets within their own groups.
This is an outstanding opportunity for our students, and they will be working hard to provide a wonderful interactive session
and to raise funds to get there. If you would like to offer financial support, please contact us here. Stand
By Me Four CBY teens presented 3 sessions at Stand By Me on Friday, June 4, 2010. What an exciting opportunity to speak with 7th grade students and parents about the program and
benefits of CBY and asset development! Our whole teen group worked together over several months to develop stimulating,
interactive sessions that were well received by the audiences. One of the activities included Valued Asset Builder wristbands
that are being distributed by the attendees to people who have made a difference in their lives. If you have a story to
share about your wristband, please click here to share it, and we will collect and publish the stories!
