We are so fortunate to be able to partner with youth, families, community members, organizations and truly supportive state officials to make this wonderful work happen. Please watch this short news clip about Youth MOVE Maine! Enjoy....

Youth MOVE Maine is gathering information from young people, parents/gaurdians and service providers to give direction and youth voice to our upcoming training and workshop schedule.  We are also looking for a little bit of input on what kind of workshops we should be providing for young people at the What Family's and Youth Want Conference that is scheduled for Spring 2011.  We would love your input on the kinds of trainings you feel would be most valuable and are most needed by other young people in the state of Maine.

The survey should take less than ten minutes and you can enter to win a $25 gift card for taking the time to provide us with feedback!

YouthMOVE Maine would like to thank youth, young adults, families, providers, policymakers and even Governer and Mrs. Baldacci for coming together in support of Children's Mental Health Awareness on May 6, 2010 at the State House in Augusta.

As families from GEAR's FACES councils reached out with their message "When you use your voice, you have a choice," YouthMOVE Maine echoed this powerful message with their Public Service Announcement "You Decide."

Then, we officially introduced YouthMOVE Maine, and our new spokesperson, racecar driver Travis Dunbar spoke about his special connection with Thrive youth. Finally, we announced our new awareness campaign, kicking it off with an inspiring poem created by and read by YouthMOVE Maine members. You can print out your own copy of the poem from the Shift Your Mind, Drive Your Dreams page. Check out the photos from this special day below...

On April 5th young people from Youth Move Maine held a meet and greet with Travis Dunbar at the Auburn Mall Car Show.  Travis is Youth Move Maine's very own race car driver and anti-stigma campaign spokesman.  Youth Move Maine is gearing up for a summer of burning rubber, race card driving and launching our very own anti-stigma campaign: Shift Your Mind, Drive Your Dream!  More details coming soon about the launch of our campaign and our summer race car driving schedule.  See you at the race track!
