Current Narrative:
While DVR does not currently have any formal cooperative agreements with noneducational agencies serving out-of-school youth, DVR takes an active role in state youth groups and committees to support ongoing collaboration between community agencies in the provision of services to out-of-school youth. Participation in these groups and committees promote better coordination of services and shared resources at both the state and local levels. Participation and involvement allows DVR to participate in the development of processes, procedures, guidelines and practices for more effective transitioning planning and services throughout Colorado’s multiple areas and systems. DVR continues to explore opportunities for better partnership and develops formal agreements when appropriate.
