The document examines issues facing youth in communities and provides recommendations to help address problems. It finds that bringing together schools, community members, students and volunteers to create opportunities for teens, such as activities, clubs and safe spaces, could help keep teens engaged in school and deter involvement in drugs, gangs and crime. The report recommends that city councils and community organizations work to establish a designated youth center run by trained staff to occupy and positively influence teens.
The document discusses juvenile justice programs and their role in rehabilitating juvenile offenders. It focuses on the Connecticut Junior Republic program, which provides services like counseling, education support, and skills building to help troubled youth. The program evaluates each juvenile's background and needs. Key aspects that could help deter delinquent behavior include teaching resilience skills to cope with problems in healthy ways and addressing family and school issues. However, the success of these programs ultimately depends on the juvenile's willingness to change.
This document summarizes views shared by 50 youth ages 16-29 from the Jane-Finch community in Toronto about issues like violence, well-being, opportunities, and family/community. The youth participated in a "Mobile Speakers' Corner" project run by ACT for Youth, a community-university partnership focused on developing a youth strategy. Key themes that emerged from the youths' views included discrimination, negative perceptions of the community, critiques of police, mixed views on "turf", concerns about health, community services, employment, housing, the importance of families and role models, and a strong sense of community pride despite challenges.
The Youth and Young Adult Division of Evanston works to help at-risk youth and young adults between ages 14-26 through job opportunities, violence interruption programs, and addressing their holistic needs. The Division has increased summer job opportunities for youth from 160 to over 550 in the last 4 years. Outreach workers build trust in the community to identify needs and connect youth to services, partnering with various organizations. They help mediate disputes to stem violence and provide mental health support to address trauma experienced by many of their clients.

The Salt River Department of Corrections in Arizona has partnered with the Boys & Girls Club to create an innovative rehabilitation program for incarcerated juveniles. The program provides educational, vocational, health and life skills classes to help youths transition back into the community successfully. It has proven effective, with many youths continuing with the Boys & Girls Club after release and four earning their high school diploma. The program aims to give at-risk youth tools to make positive choices and not re-offend. It emphasizes character development, relationships and opportunities in a safe, supportive environment.
The concept of children‟s participation has evolved over the last decade but the notion, either in theory or in practice, has not been able to make a significant dent in the collective mindset of the social and political institutions and the individuals who comprise of them. Most initiatives and interventions have arguably been confined to children‟s rights organizations and activists, and need to be appreciated and accepted by the mainstream society and the state in order to be scaled up. This is largely because of a lack of conceptual understanding and the appreciation of the value and practicability of children‟s participation.

The speaker is asking youth services to support the Troubled Families program, which aims to change the lives of 120,000 troubled families by 2015 through family intervention. The program will identify families with long histories of problems and actively work with them using assertive, authoritative approaches rather than just making services available. It will focus on changing behaviors and breaking intergenerational cycles rather than just reacting to problems. The speaker argues this intensive, challenging approach is needed to truly change families in a way that previous programs have failed to do. Youth services are well positioned to identify families and take an assertive role in supporting this new approach.
1) The document discusses evaluation methods for programs that target very young adolescents (VYAs). It explores participatory and qualitative methods that allow VYAs to share their perspectives rather than relying solely on adult assessments.
2) Various participatory techniques are presented, such as card games, storytelling exercises, photo elicitation, and pile sorting, that can be used to evaluate changes in attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors related to topics like gender norms, fertility awareness, and HIV prevention.

The speaker discusses social ills among teenagers in Malaysia. One of the main causes is lack of parental supervision as many parents work and children are left with others. When children do not receive love and attention at home, they seek it elsewhere which can lead them astray. The media can also influence teenagers negatively by showing violence and sex. Providing more recreational facilities for teenagers and restricting certain media content could help address the problems. Everyone in society must work together to combat social ills affecting youth.
The social project focused on youth crime. Both primary and secondary research methods were used, including surveys to understand public opinions. The audience was youth aged 13-21 to show alternatives to crime and how to exit gangs. The project seemed successful as it provided resources to help at-risk youth. To further reduce crime, continued efforts are needed to educate youth on job opportunities and the impacts of crime, while also supporting excluded youth.

This document discusses the importance of mattering and sense of community for students in higher education. It specifically focuses on challenges faced by certain student populations including Latino students, first-generation students, and online/distance learners. For these groups, feeling like they matter and belong is especially critical to their success but can be difficult due to factors such as cultural disconnect, lack of family experience with college, and less time spent on campus. Developing a strong sense of community is important for all students but particularly for these populations that may struggle more with isolation and feelings of not fitting in.

This document is the capstone project of Jill Sydney Madsen submitted for a Master's degree in Education from Hamline University. The project examines saying "goodbye to teaching tolerance and hello to equity and social justice" through a critical analysis of factors needed for an anti-bias early childhood education program. Madsen conducted research at Community Child Care Center including staff and family surveys and classroom observations. The paper defines key terms, reviews literature on teaching tolerance and anti-bias education, outlines the methodology, presents results on a continuum from tolerance to equity/justice, and concludes with recommendations. The goal is to distinguish anti-bias education grounded in equity and social justice from a tolerance approach.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Strategies for Effective Upskilling is a presentation by Chinwendu Peace in a Your Skill Boost Masterclass organisation by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan on 08th and 09th June 2024 from 1 PM to 3 PM on each day.

Ways to get teens involved and people to help bring it together. <br />This brings up 1) Do youth have nothing more to do besides school, 2) What is in communities that affect or target youth, 3) What can be done to help, 4) Who should take charge for this kind of thing. Although this report isn’t a worldwide result, communities small and big face problems with youth due to there being so many and they are so different.<br /> One of my goals is to help you see that more can be done to ensure that our youth doesn’t fall prey to things that will harm them.

Involvement was just ten people who took a questionnaire. The purpose of this is to help give recommendations to help communities see or start a better way to reach out to their youth and give opportunities. Seeing past skepticism in past attempts and coming together to help bring a place in being for youth to go and stay out of trouble. Problems in what teens and communities face.<br />Seeing what can be done from members of city councils, volunteers, students and people from the community. So in turn have schools, colleges, and other sources coming together to try and get things for these teens to do. This will include getting a community involved in teen lives, getting surveys and opinions on how this should be best produced. Studies show that teens that get involved with the community or school have a higher chance of staying in school and possibly going to a secondary school.<br />Community members<br />Students, High School and College<br />Volunteers<br />Other people of the community<br />Students are more involved in their community have a less likely chance to fall prey to drugs, gangs, etc. It helps to build moral and values, then in turn other teens see this effect, or have a desire to help they come out and give what they can. They will inspire each other to come together help others and each other. Based on my results of my questionnaire it is evident that people think things need to be done to help guide teens out of trouble. I have come to these conclusions 1)there should be people to come together, city council members, people who work for the city to come up with a place in a safe location and easy access and ready people to come work for them in creating activities, rules and procedures to make that place possible. 2) Teachers, college students, and other members can bring teens to their schools for events, events to help with problems, a movie night or just a safe place to hang out with friends and family. 3) Is to organize events and find a place either, every time they have one or set it up in a new place each time, to give teen’s availability and rides in case they need to be picked up and dropped off by a school or rented van of the organization.<br />INTRODUCTION<br />Troubled Teens in Local Communities<br />In local communities, they all have the same problem, the problem of troubled teens. The purpose of this report is to bring awareness and possibly action against these teens doing drugs, committing crimes, and to stay in school. So in turn have schools, colleges, and other sources coming together to try and get things for these teens to do. This will include getting a community involved in teen lives, getting surveys and opinions on how this should be best produced. Studies show that teens that get involved with the community or school have a higher chance of staying in school and possibly going to a secondary school.<br />This brings up some questions:<br />1) What can be done to help take teens off the streets?<br />2) What can schools do to keep kids active?<br />3) How does this affect kids later in life or in school?<br />Problems in Communities and How to Help<br />I chose this issue, because of what I hear on the news and what I see at the high schools. Crimes are being committed by kids in school, some even in middle school. The crimes are drugs, robbing, muggings, and shootings. These are our future and they are getting drawn into a bad place, and they don’t care about their schooling, which I strongly believe, should change they need to know someone cares. My method in getting my research is to use a questionnaire and spread it between teenagers to people involved in the community. My results lead me to believe that something needs to be done, more needs to be moved towards their education, their involvement. An activity center that can put them in fun activities and also include them in further in their education, or just a fun place to hang out with their friends and won’t be out late, or getting involved in bad things. Another recommendation is that schools, high schools and colleges come together and make activity days and have it for teenagers at the campus or at a park and have consistent dates.<br />In looking at my results, it is clear that something should be done about this. Both students and adults not in school see a problem and see different ways to solve this problem. The majority of people surveyed agree that a designated place preferred a building, hold events, clubs and activities for youth will be a tremendous help. Along with certified people to work and run the place, and to be over looked by the community, students, and people of the community.<br />Students<br />From what I have gathered form a local college, students seem to think a similar thing. That teens are getting more and more involved in sex, drugs and gangs. A lot is visible in the news and newspapers. They think a positive organization that doesn’t judge and kick teens out for being troubled some. There are some places that teens go, is a sports complex, movie theaters, and the mall. Most of this is not enough for a small place with a lot of youth. They bundle in one place and get bored of that one thing so they see adults drinking and smoking, getting tattoos and piercings and all of a sudden they want to do that. Places that run activities for students should been clear of any of these or being visible, that’s why schools don’t hire people with piercings and tattoos showing. Most areas of business do not allow any of these from their workers so they are just trying to optimize their student’s future. Once a few get involved more see and want to join and know it’s ok to help out and not be embarrassed about it. In turn it makes them more social and helps broaden their future from the experience they got<br />. <br />“There should be a place that helps them with school and in turn lets them have fun and doesn’t discriminate against them because of their interests, cloths, race or anything like that.” Says a local mother of a baby girl. There might be a boys and girls club but not all students are interested in that, there should be activities or days that appeal to all kinds of youth, keep them off the streets or doing anything else.<br /> <br />CONCLUSION<br />After looking at my results, and comments made by interviewers, it is obvious that something more needs to be done for teens looking for what interests them. We should be able to come up with something that keeps them occupied and keeps their mind off peer pressure. This makes it comes down to people needing to come together and bring teens together.<br />First there should be people to come together, city council members, people who work for the city to come up with a place in a safe location and easy access and ready people to come work for them in creating activities, rules and procedures to make that place possible.<br />Second, teachers, college students, and other members can bring teens to their schools for events, events to help with problems, a movie night or just a safe place to hang out with friends and family.<br />Thirdly is to organize events and find a place either, every time they have one or set it up in a new place each time, to give teen’s availability and rides in case they need to be picked up and dropped off by a school or rented van of the organization.<br />Works Cited<br />Barrera, Emily.
