Abstract
As rural communities face changes in local economies, populations, and workforce needs, what does the next
generation of residents and workers value and want? That question was the motivation for the Rural Youth Futures
project. Researchers and extension agents from several universities joined forces with local non-profits to find out what
middle and high schoolers think in two forest-dependent regions: Coos County in Oregon and Piscataquis/Northern
Somerset Counties in Maine. This is one in a series of fact sheets designed to present summary information to each
participating school and county about the perceptions and aspirations of local youth.
