The fair is being organized Sunder the direction of BYU students Edith Densley, Brian Miller, Charles Rich, and Jill Monson as a project for a sociology program on campus known as CLASP - a contemporary approach to education which has gained nationwide attention in a special report in Change Magazine on leading developments in the world of learning. CLASP stands for "Creative Learning through the Application of Sociological Principles." Agencies involved in the fair include the American Youth Development, Big Brother and Big Sister programs, Orem High School, Provo High School, Provo Canyon School, The Gathering Place, Utah Coun- ty Boys Club, Utah State Hospitals, Youth Bureau, and Youth Home. "The fair has been organized because we've found that many youth are not aware of what services-and helps are available to them in this area," Miss Densley said. "The fair wll bring all of these services together and should have an impact in educating the community and the youth about these services. |
