[MurrayMatters] Youth Development Network Hotline Connects Families with Activities for Children

[Lisa Bowen]

A new, free resource for connecting students with activities,
resources and 
services in the community is now available to
families. 

The Youth Development Network Hotline at
1-800-YDN-2021 can be called 
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday by youth, parents or 
professionals who need help
locating resources such as after-school 
activities, sports,
counseling and tutoring. 

The YDN Hotline is an intake and
referral clearinghouse designed to help 
youth and families locate
needed services, activities and resources. The 
Hotline was developed
by the YDN, a work group of the Commission on Children 
and Families,
and it is made up of representatives from the agencies and 
organizations that serve children, youth and families in the 
Charlottesville-Albemarle community. The goal of the YDN is to create a

collaborative youth development network that increases the capacity
of 
community agencies and organizations to provide prevention and
intervention 
services and activities to all youth. 

The
YDN also offers an online, searchable database called the ³Guide to

Youth Services² available 24-hours a day at www.ccfinfo.org.
