We are a community owned organisation, called Learning Links, that works to promote community change and economic regeneration by offering free learning opportunities for people with little or no education, at locations within the community. We promote the current UK political agenda of lifelong learning and offer support and guidance to members of the community, who in the past have considered that, participation in community matters and the attainment of well paid work as being for other people.

I work with a community research project called the Teen Assessment Project (TAP) which is currently statewide and originated in Wisconsin. We survey youth in grades 7-12 about worries, concerns and perceptions about such things as substance use, time use, future aspirations, parental monitoring and numerous other topics that are determined by the community involved in the project. We then develop a research report based on the results of the survey and send out a parent newsletter series to all parents of youth surveyed as well as hold forums with both youth and families. If you want more information, let me know!

Wow! I have written some sections for the toolbox and I'm glad to see so many people are utilizing and enjoying it. These days I'm doing applied research and evaluation at Health and Addictions Research, Inc. in Boston working on the Treatment Outcomes and Performance Pilot Study (TOPPS II) substance abuse project, and an evaluation of the Mass Alcohol Screening Assesment in Pregnancy (ASAP) project. Good luck to everyone!
