Abstract:
Because of the need for additional youth services in Marion
County and the effectiveness of coordinated and integrated
youth services, the Early Intervention and Planning Council
(EIPC) is planning to establish or appoint an existing agency
to coordinate research, evaluation, and fundraising for youth
services in Marion County. This brief takes a look at the opinions
of those working at youth-serving agencies to see if they
also see a need for a coordinating agency. Individuals working
with youth-serving agencies are also asked their opinion on
whether a suitable agency already exists or if an agency would
need to be established.
