Hi Matt, our budget for Partners is $150K.  We do the program in house and have moved to an every other year cycle for budgetary reasons.  Partners come for 7 sessions beginning at 1pm on a Friday afternoon and ending at 3pm on Saturday. Additional time is spent by them working on their projects.  We do not get support from any other entity with respect to these costs.  We don’t operate a juniors partners in policymaking program. We do have a youth leadership forum, also every other year.

 

Have a great holiday. Heidi

Subject: States' Partners in Policymaking & Juniors Partners Programs

Dear DDC Executive Directors & Colleagues:

 

Good afternoon, hope all is well.  In preparation of developing our new 5 Year State Plan, the DDC members are re-evaluating our Partners-in-Policymaking program, known as the DC Advocacy Partners program:  http://www.dcpartners.iel.org/.

 

The DDC members have questions about other states’ Partners-in-Policymaking program.  Specifically:

·    What are the approximate costs to your DDC to implement and conduct the program in your state?

·    What are the number of monthly sessions provided through your Partners-in-Policymaking program?

·    How many total numbers of hours do the participants spend in those monthly sessions by the end of the program?

 

 If your DDC implements a Junior Partners-in-Policymaking program:

a.  What are the approximate costs for the program?

b.  How many days and total hours do the young adults and students participate in the program?

 

Thanks so much for your assistance.  I greatly appreciate it, and I look forward to hearing from you.  May you and your family experience all the happiness and peace during the holiday season.

 

Best wishes, Mat
