                        YouthNet - A Communications network for the
                            Young and Young-at-heart

              YouthNet is an international network that gears itself to
        the interests of the "young and young at heart".  We have echos
        designed to allow young people to talk with other young people
        around the world. The echos covers a wide range of topics from
        entertainment to fantasy to science. Everything from learning how
        to have fun all the way to having fun while learning. Which ever
        your preference may be, there is a place for you in YouthNet.

              But young people around the world are not the only ones
        interested in young people. Many adults are either "young at
        heart" or have serious interest in how the next generation of
        adults are doing. What are they interested in, how are they
        dealing with in today's society, what do they think of where our
        planet is heading? There are many places for these people to talk
        with others like them and even the young people themselves!

              Besides our own forums, we have gateway arrangements with
        both DiscNet and WorldNet. Several echos are passed between these
        networks, giving you greater reach with a single message.
        Messages can be sent person to person within YouthNet and even to
        individuals in these other networks. Many other ideas are
        currently being considered and discussed in the both the sysop
        and coordinators echos. You input to the growth of YouthNet will
        be most welcomed.

              We are a young network ourselves, with coverage in many
        places around the country and in Canada. However there are still
        many cities where we are in need of interested people to serve as
        Coordinators to help our network grow. So even if there isn't a
        YouthNet system in your city, there is no reason why you still
        can join.

              I hope to hear from you soon. Please feel free to contact me
        if you have any questions I may be able to help you with. Later!
