Ready by 21 Summit
June 25, 2010 9am – 11am
The Ready by 21 Year End Summit was a success! If you missed it, our presenters shared summaries of some of the incredible work that is being done in Petaluma to ensure that all children and young people have what they need to succeed by the time they are age 21.
It was truly inspiring and motivating to hear how organizational and community efforts contribute to achieving the overall goals of the Petaluma Youth Network and fit within the Ready by 21 five developmental areas including Learning, Thriving, Working, Connecting, and Leading
