HCHY List: Youth Editorial Board

[Alison Dotson]

Greetings, Asset Builders!

Here in the publishing department at Search Institute we rely on you, our
colleagues in the field, to review our manuscripts before they're published.
In 2008 we launched a youth editorial board and enjoyed great results. We
are about to enter our second year of collaboration with young people, but
first things first--we need to elect new members to the board!

We plan on selecting youth to serve on the editorial board for six-month
increments each year, starting with January=96July and August=96December te=
rms.
The youth members will have the chance to tell us exactly what they think
about our manuscripts=97what they like, what won't work in their lives, what
they would love to see included. Each member will receive $50 total for
participating in the process, $25 at the beginning and $25 upon completion
of the six-month term.

Although the majority of our publications are for adults, it's important for
us to hear what teenagers think of the asset-building strategies we
recommend to asset builders. We are creating a youth editorial board to
provide this insight by reading manuscripts before they become books. It
will serve as a wonderful opportunity for them to tell us firsthand what
they want and need from the adults in their lives.

If you know a young person who would enjoy reviewing manuscripts for Search
Institute Press, please e-mail me with the following information:

First and Last Name
Age
Grade in School
E-mail Address
Mailing Address
Phone Number
Why would you like to participate on the youth editorial board?

Thank you so much for all you do to build assets for youth! Please let me
know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Alison Dotson
