SDE Optimizing Conditions
ASDE surveys all SDE communities/programs about how they provide, enhance,
or align with each of the Six Optimizing Conditions
for young people to succeed in SDE. Survey answers:
- Responsibility – Young people are responsible for how and what they learn. The community is there to support them when they request it.
- Youth Autonomy – All activities are self-chosen including community meeting and mentor meetings.
- Access to Tools and Technology – Resources are open to the entire community. Some tools may require instruction before use .
- Adult Allies – Each teen is matched with a full time staff mentor. Teens are also supported by volunteers as well as members of the broader community.
- Free Age Mixing – Young people of all ages are welcome to engage in all activities and spaces.
- Community – Community is at the core of Current. Each day will start with a check-in, and weekly meetings will strengthen community and belonging. We will use a process to manage conflict where all impacted will be part of the resolution.
