REGIONAL READINESS ASSESSMENT

WHY THIS ASSESSMENT EXISTS

America is entering a once-in-a-century generational turnover. Between 2025 and 2035, the Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, and much of Gen X will transition out of full-time leadership roles. This shift will determine whether communities flourish or fracture. This 20-question assessment measures how well your region's five influential roles—Raising, Teaching, Mentoring, Serving, and Employing—are preparing all generations for this transition.

SECTION 1 — RAISING (Parents & Guardians)

Who this includes: Biological parents, grandparents, foster parents, kinship caregivers, legal guardians, and anyone raising children ages 10-24 in your region.

1. Parents and guardians consistently teach foundational life skills—personal hygiene, appropriate dress, communication basics, household rules, and self-presentation—that prepare children for public and private settings.
1 = Never
2 = Sometimes
3 = Usually
4 = Always
2. Parents and guardians intentionally build partnerships with educators, mentors, and youth-serving organizations, viewing these adults as co-developers in their child's growth.
1 = Never
2 = Sometimes
3 = Usually
4 = Always
3. Parents and guardians manage household technology intentionally—setting usage boundaries, activating safety features, and monitoring device use based on the child's age and maturity.
1 = Never
2 = Sometimes
3 = Usually
4 = Always
4. In your region, news and community conversations about parents and guardians are generally positive, emphasizing involvement, engagement, and proactive parenting rather than neglect, absence, or unsupervised children.
1 = Never
2 = Sometimes
3 = Usually
4 = Always

SECTION 2 — TEACHING (K-12, Higher Education & Workforce Training Systems)

Who this includes: PK-12 teachers, school staff, district leaders, counselors, higher education faculty, technical training instructors, adult education providers, and anyone teaching or training youth and adults ages 10-24 in your region.

5. Middle schools intentionally carve out time to teach emotional regulation, conflict resolution, digital responsibility, and the consequences of developing bad habits as teenagers.
1 = Never
2 = Sometimes
3 = Usually
4 = Always
6. High schools intentionally teach students how to function as emerging adults—self-advocacy, communicating with adults in authority, scheduling meetings, completing applications, understanding consequences, and practicing real-world decision-making.

SECTION 3 — MENTORING (Youth Programs, Faith-Based Groups, Coaches & Community Role Models)

9. Youth in your region have consistent access to formal mentoring programs—such as school-based mentoring, faith-based youth groups, Big Brothers Big Sisters, court-appointed mentors, or community-based programs.
1 = Never
2 = Sometimes
3 = Usually
4 = Always
10. Adults in your region—across all five PATCOI roles (Raising, Teaching, Mentoring, Employing, Serving)—intentionally step into mentoring relationships with young people, even if they don't hold an official "mentor" title.
1 = Never
2 = Sometimes
3 = Usually
4 = Always
11. Youth across all neighborhoods, zip codes, and income levels in your region have equal access to quality mentoring—not just youth in affluent areas or those already connected to schools and programs.
1 = Never
2 = Sometimes
3 = Usually
4 = Always
12. In your region, news and community conversations about mentors, coaches, and youth programs are generally positive, highlighting impact, dedication, and life-changing relationships rather than misconduct, poor oversight, or ineffective programs.

3 = Usually
