Rural Youth Education Study -- Fact Sheets

The Rural Youth Education (RYE) project collects data from approximately 1,500 rural youth in Pennsylvania about their educational, work and family aspirations, and where they want to live as adults.  We’re using the survey data collected in the project to develop fact sheets with useful information for parents, educators, schools and communities about helping today’s youth make decisions about their futures.  Please feel free to download and use these fact sheets in your home, school or community.  Check back often because we are constantly updating the web site with new fact sheets from the RYE study.
