Youth Programming is not offered by PBEM at this time. In the past, PBEM partnered with Portland Public Schools and other school districts to deliver disaster preparedness training and TeenCERT programming. Currently, Multnomah County is providing youth programming as their resources allow.

Participants in PBEM community programs will notice this view of resilience in all our activities and coaching. We build it into the Neighborhood Emergency Team (NET) program, Community Resilience Workbook, and Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD). But, PBEM's CRT definition is not the only definition of community resilience, and that matters.

The big question comes in whether other community resilience approaches can fit with PBEM’s. When PBEM volunteers raise a momentum of activity around their work, they may meet neighbors responding to that momentum by placing their own legitimate community resilience interests on the agenda. That might include serving the homeless, or economic development, or crime prevention, or neighborhood preservation, among other possibilities. Those considerations are addressed as part of the [[Community Resilience Districts|Community Resilience District (CRD)]] concept, and not discussed in this article.

== CPT Programming Budgets ==
:See also: [https://app.smartsheet.com/b/publish?EQBCT=339d2fe9fca64aa88a59397af11c079f CPT Budget Dashboard]
'''The PBEM CPT program budget is a complicated creature.'''
As  you walk through it, you'll see it relies on different significant funding sources (grants and city general fund) and is sliced into smaller "program-lets" and projects. There are seven program "buckets" in NET: '''''Program Operations, Basic NET, Advanced Training, Radio, Community Organizing, Youth Programming,''''' and '''''Program Development.''''' We'll break down each of them. This budget does not include personnel costs (salaries and benefits).
Spending is often cross referenced between programs/projects to accurately evaluate outcomes and deliverables. On top of all that, NET spends its budget over many small transactions...380 on an average fiscal year.
'''Why a NET budget dashboard?'''
* Simplify monitoring program budget for internal City of Portland staff.
* Create a clear guide for comparing program outcomes to spending.
* Transparency for NET volunteers.
* General educational purposes.

== CPT Programming and Other Agencies ==
PBEM staff are often asked how CPT programming interfaces and collaborates with other government jurisdictions.
