Description:

ENVISION YOUR FUTURE

Envision Your Future was developed by Dr. Patty O'Sullivan based on a study she did on the changing behavior of our youth as they move ahead through school.

Dr. O'Sullivan discovered that youth in middle school had dreams of success. In high school, however, many of the students had lost their dreams which led to their dropping out and engaging in risky behavior.



Envision Your Future puts youth back in touch with their dreams, guides them in finding their own answers and overcoming the challenges they face as they move toward their vision for the future.

"Envision Your Future has a direct effect in decreasing the number of kids who commit delinquent offenses and directly decreases their negative/risky behavior." Honorable Barbara Vigil, District Judge, Santa Fe, NM

"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, Sr. Certified Prevention Specialist, Santa Fe County, NM
