With funding from the Federal Office of Child Support Services, CPR was contracted by the Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Child Support Services (DCSS), to evaluate the Charting a Course for Economic Mobility and Responsible Parenting demonstration project. Native Youth Productions (NYP) involves a collaboration with Denver Indian Family Resource Center (DIFRAC), which included recruiting urban Native youth to engage in a transformational process of learning and creation that culminated in developing a film for their peers, which was distributed during an in-person film premiere and online via a paid social media campaign. The intervention aimed to advance the cultural and community connectedness of participants and youth exposed to the film and help them achieve economic mobility and become responsible parents. CPR will produce three documents describing the project, including the implementation process and project outcomes.
