Watertown youth in Jefferson County are building skills and confidence with the Community Assets Resiliency Education (CARE) program, run by Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) Jefferson County. Using a 4-H Wizarding World curriculum, the program engages participants with creative projects and community service activities.

During a recent session, youth made invisible ink and crafted wands and potion bottles, activities designed to keep them engaged and develop their communication and goal-setting skills. CARE also focuses on social-emotional well-being by using creative projects and community service to foster better relationships among youth.

Now in its second year, the program has built a network of support for local teens that includes a referral system providing additional assistance when needed.
