MAKING CONNECTIONS ACROSS WYOMING
Youth professionals and community organizations across Wyoming are innovating and finding ways to bring learning to life for young people where it happens. Our goal is to empower the people and organizations who care about young people’s growth so, together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of Wyoming youth.
By working and learning together, we can help youth and families navigate the world around them, mapping the terrain so all young people find meaningful paths to adulthood and – as a consequence – foster greater community vitality.

Time to Thrive Book Study
The Wyoming Enrichment Network, in partnership with the Wyoming State Library, was pleased to host the five-part book study featuring “10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People” by Dr. David Yeager in the spring of 2026.
Over five sessions, we explored the overarching concepts and learned about the Mentor Mindset. The research of Yeager and colleagues has been a game changer for the way we are thinking about supporting middle, high school and college age youth. As educators, youth professionals, and parents, we are awash in a narrative that often pathologizes adolescence. WYEN is working to reframe this narrative: Adolescence as a time in life – and the individuals experiencing it –are not problems to be solved or a time to be endured. Rather, it is a wonderful part of life to be capitalized on in ways that will have long term benefit for our young people and our communities. This Book Study qualified for Wyoming 0.5 PTSB Credits.

Growing More Opportunities for Youth Success
The Wyoming Enrichment Network and other organizations presented the Time to Thrive conversation series during the fall of 2025 to inspire and connect adults who work with or engage young people grow in after school, on weekends, during the summer, and in every space where learning happens. Together, we explored how organizations and adults can deepen developmental relationships, build adult capacity to mentor and inspire youth, and create connected, career-relevant pathways.

Mission: We bridge the gap between Wyoming’s out-of-school programs and the communities they uplift, fueling them with resources, support and opportunities that inspire lifelong learning, growth and connection.
