Our organization receives funding from the federal government. We sponsor a lot of development of new and innovative ideas that do push the envelope and encourage risk but in a manageable way. I think our organization and our directors and our vibrant rural communities speak from the need to have risk mitigation in place without it acting as a barrier. Let these young people be risk-takers and provide some options and discussions as to how they can maybe avoid some catastrophes, but at the same time, so many of the programs we see implemented are very much averse to taking risks. We need to encourage the fact that new and innovative ideas are going to come from our youth, and from some of our experienced people, too. I don't want to discredit my generation in that ability, but I think we really need to encourage more opportunities for risk-taking and provide a parachute when they're less than successful. We're not always looking for complete success; we are just providing that opportunity.
That's where we're coming from.
