BetterWorld partners with organizations that help adolescents successfully navigate their social settings and avoid "risky" lifestyles.

In particular, we support organizations that:

• Create healthy social settings for youth, including recreation centers and job training programs

• Promote greater interaction and involvement with parents, and with adult or peer mentors

• Stress the importance of knowing how, when and where adolescents interact with their families, peers and unrelated adults in home, employment, recreational and educational settings

• Integrate youth development with community-based development
