[Kemp, Susan]

I am the Internet research analyst for the NYS Office of Children and Family
Services.  I literally surf the web all day, looking for everything for
youth related information/policies/programs/new ideas; to funding
opportunities fo youth services.  I also help manage the website.

<p>I am the project coordinator for a Wallace Reader's Digest Funds initiative
Public Libraries as Partners in Youth Development
www.urbanlibraries.org/youth . I am interested in
* sharing resources for technology instruction
* any projects that are using near-peer (students 3-5 years older than the
youth being instructed) models to teach technology in informal learning
environments
*evaluation methods that have been effective in sustaining programs--i.e.
methods for documenting success that have proved effective with local and
national funders.
