Weiss presents in Florida, receives grant renewal

In her presentation, titled, "More than a game: Impact of The First Tee life skills programs on positive youth development," Maureen shared results from three years of longitudinal data documenting the effectiveness of this youth development program on life skills learning and developmental outcomes. In addition, Maureen's grant for this research was renewed by Philip Morris Youth Smoking Prevention Programs for next year, bringing her four-year grant total to over half a million dollars.
