County. As a result, agencies like the YMCA and YWCA decided to recreate the program as Wyandotte CountyYouthNet. Their goal was to educate kids, arrest dealers, and assist youth organizations in raising funds. Thefledging local agency became a coalition of agencies under the auspices of the Mental Health Association ofWyandotte County.When raising funds for Wyandotte under the Kansas City, Missouri YouthNet name became a problem, theWyandotte group stopped using the name. They decided to be solely Wyandotte County; they hired acoordinator, became an independent organization and hired their first director. Ultimately, Irene became theDirector of the organization that became known as Youth Opportunities Unlimited (Y.O.U.).Y.O.U. started an Advocacy group, the Back to School Fair and published a directory oforganizations working with or for the benefit of youth in Wyandotte County. They alsostarted “The Collaborative of Wyandotte County” to bring together representatives fromorganizations and agencies for quarterly meetings to share their work on issuesaffecting local youth, to network and to share information about their programs andevents. In later years, their member organizations were struggling for funds, and fundersdecided their money should go directly to youth organizations.About four years ago, Y.O.U. closed. The Back to School Fair was taken over by what is now Communities inSchools. The directory ceased publication. The Collaborative, with their news bulletins, funding opportunities,and quarterly meetings was turned over to—Greater Kansas City YouthNet. Through various moves and a numberof leaders who tried to keep The Collaborative viable, each move and each new leader resulted in loss ofrecords and loss of momentum.What used to be meetings with 60-80 attending, and sometimes standing roomonly at Wyandotte West Library, seemed to be gone from the community.About a year ago, the previous Advisory Committee decided to try andjumpstart the quarterly meetings, and they have kept the group going with their
own dedicated time and money.Now, the group is in transition again as they look forward to the possibility of a new organization steppingforward to provide some stable paid staff and funding to keep The Collaborative going and hopefully continuethe growth that was restarted during the past year. The Advisory Committee members are Sunny Church,Wyandotte West Library; April Dohle, Workforce Partnership; Beverly Johnson, currently retired; ChiquitaMiller, K-State Research & Extension; and Brenda Mortell, Heartland Habitat for Humanity.
