On May 1 and 2, 2000 the first Native American Prevention Program Sharing Conference was held in Bloomington, Minnesota. It was an opportunity for individuals and agencies from throughout the Central CAPT states and the Red Lake Nation to share what they were doing in the areas of prevention.

This 9th Annual Native American Prevention Program Sharing Conference: Joining Voices will help participants develop a better understanding of prevention programs and principles that are effective. This conference has been designed to provide both youth and adult participants an opportunity to:

• Learn about specific prevention programs and strategies that are being implemented with Native American youth audiences.
• Learn about evidence-based programs, principles, and practices.
• Talk with others who are interested in making prevention programs work efficiently and effectively.
• Strengthen a good path of life for youth.

• Prepare youth to become good elders.
