Mary Saunders's HeadshotThe Great Plains IDEA Youth Development Program has offered me the opportunity to further my education while strengthening the program I work in. Working with older youth in foster care and homeless teens presents challenges in engagement and assisting them in success.  I have learned useful and powerful strategies in working with older youth and highly recommend it for people pursuing work with these populations.  The flexibility of online learning has allowed me to balance a full-time job, a family, and school.  The diversity of my fellow students has expanded my understanding of youth services and how we intersect.
