The document summarizes findings from a report on girls' programming in Greater Boston. It finds that (1) the needs of girls are growing as statistics on delinquency, violence, and exploitation have increased, yet (2) girls are woefully underserved by current programs and receive only 6% of philanthropic funding despite growing needs, and (3) more research and gender-sensitive programming is urgently needed to address the unique needs of girls. It provides recommendations to researchers, policymakers, funders, and programmers to advocate for girls and improve gender-sensitive youth programming.

Family planning for Girls: The get it right checklist.Girl Effect
The FP2020 commitments were bold and ambitious. This checklist can help us all achieve them.
In summer 2012, donors, policy makers and implementing partners gathered at the London Summit on Family Planning. The outcome was FP2020 - a political and financial commitment to provide 120 million underserved girls and women with the opportunity to freely, reliably and safely use modern contraception by 2020. It was an ambitious goal. This checklist can help us all achieve it.
Effective solutions to end violence against children will require researchers, practitioners, and leaders to come together to take stock of what we know, bridge gaps across the field, and influence change through the use and generation of VAC evidence.
This webinar aimed to share evidence and foster discussion on intersections between violence against women and violence against children, highlighting opportunities for greater collaboration, to build knowledge, and to translate it into policy and programmes.

The role of gender in enhancing the development agendaJack Onyisi Abebe
Gender and development is important because it focuses on connections between gender and development initiatives and feminists’ perspectives, and deals with issues such as health and education, decision making and leadership, peace building, violence against women and economic empowerment. Development cannot be realized without the very significant component of gender. Countries the world over have proved that exclusion of women in development has rendered their development efforts futile.

On 19 October 2021, over 500 researchers, practitioners, policymakers and activists from around the world gathered to take stock of what we know about the intersections between
violence against children and violence against women, identify existing knowledge gaps and discuss opportunities to increase coordination across efforts to prevent and respond to both
forms of violence.
This summary presents key takeaways from the event organized by UNICEF Innocenti, in collaboration with the Global Partnership to End Violence, the World Health Organization,
the Sexual Violence Research Initiative and the UK FCDO.
As gender issues have become more mainstreamed in scientific research and media reports, confusion associated with the terms sex and gender has decreased. However, the discussion on sex and gender be integrated into our day to day conversations.
This presentation is based on various issues faced by women in agricultural services and the reasons why gender-sensitization schemes are not widely accepted.

Juvenile Mentoring Program (JUMP)Purpose To support one-to-.docxcroysierkathey
Juvenile Mentoring Program (JUMP)
Purpose: To support one-to-one mentoring programs for youth at risk of educational failure, dropping out of school, or involvement in delinquent activities, including gangs.
Background: Part G of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act of 1974, as amended, authorizes the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to fund a Juvenile Mentoring Program (JUMP). In fiscal year (FY) 1996, Congress appropriated $4,000,000 to implement this program.
Mentoring, as the term is currently used, can be defined as a one-to-one relationship between a pair of unrelated individuals, usually of different ages, which takes place on a regular basis over an extended period of time. It is usually characterized by a "special bond of mutual commitment" and "an emotional character of respect, loyalty, and identification" (Hamilton, 1990).
As a movement, mentoring has its roots in the closing decades of the 19th century with "Friendly Visitors" who served as role models for children of the poor. Mentoring enjoyed new popularity in the 1970's when corporations heralded the concept as one that fosters achievement. Mentoring was seen as a particularly critical ingredient to success on the corporate ladder (Freedman, 1992).
Within the past 10 years, mentoring has taken on a new dimension and a new target group disadvantaged children and youth. It has emerged as a promising approach for enriching children's lives; addressing the isolation of youth from adult contact; and providing, on a one-to-one basis, support and advocacy to children who need it. Mentoring is also recognized as an important vehicle for harnessing the talents of volunteers to address the problems of poverty (Freedman, 1992).
Congress has recognized the potential of mentoring as a tool for addressing two critical concerns: poor school performance and delinquent activity. Accordingly, OJJDP is making funds available for mentoring programs that specifically address these concerns. Congress also has recognized the importance of school collaboration in mentoring programs, whether as a primary applicant or in partnership with other public or nonprofit private entities.
In a recent study of mentoring, Public/Private Ventures (P/PV) conducted an experimental evaluation of Big Brothers and Big Sisters (BB/BS) programs (Tierney et al., 1995). In this study youth were randomly assigned to a BB/BS mentoring program or to a BB/BS waiting list. The study emphasized the importance of carefully structured programs with adequate management, training, case management, policies, procedures, and establishment of clear standards. These standards relate to screening of the adults and youth, training and orientation of volunteers, the matching process, required frequency of meetings, and supervision of matches.
In determining whether a one-to-one mentoring experience made a tangible difference in the lives of these young people, the study identified sever ...

COURSE PROJECT PARTS 1 AND 2
Date Due: January 8, 2023
Part 1: The Program
Early childhood education is one of the specialization areas that had its issues presented in Mayo Keller’s taskforce. As a member of the taskforce specializing in early childhood education, I will present to the taskforce programs that need improvement for the ultimate goal of advancing the sector. One program that need to be evaluated and improved for change is the enrollment program into early childhood education. The goal of the program is to increase enrollment and improve participation of young learners in early childhood education. The enrollment of children aged 3 to 5 years into early childhood education has significantly been declining in the Grand City area. The situation therefore calls for the stakeholders to look into the causes and solutions (Walden University, 2016). Parents, district education officers, mayor’s office, and early childhood educators are some of the stakeholders concerned with the program.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Where Are the Girls?
The State of Girls’ Programming in Greater Boston
A Report of the Girls’ Coalition of Greater Boston
By Kathryn A. Wheeler, Rachel Oliveri, Ila Deshmukh Towery, and Molly Mead
in collaboration with the Girls’ Coalition Leadership Council
• The number of female delinquents in Massachusetts more than doubled from 1996 to 2003
• Girls are increasingly violent with each other—in and out of school
• The number of girls being sexually exploited through prostitution is rising rapidly in Boston, with
12 times as many cases of teen prostitution in the first nine months of 2005 as in all of 2003
These alarming statistics have recently landed girls in the news media spotlight and focused attention once
again on their specific and unique needs. Boston’s Mayor Thomas M. Menino, in response to this growing
concern, recently hosted a meeting of youth-serving agencies to announce new collaborative efforts for
girls with the Boston Centers for Youth and Families. This focus on girls is welcome by those who have
worked to empower girls through programming, advocacy, research, and education.
The document Where Are the Girls? is the product of a yearlong qualitative and quantitative analysis by the
Girls’ Coalition of Greater Boston. Leaders in the local “girls’ world” provide evidence supporting the
uniqueness of girls’ emotional and educational development, the social and political consequences of
ignoring their needs, and the steps necessary to assure strong, confident, capable, and well-adjusted girls.
The report documents that girls in the Greater Boston area are woefully underserved by current programs.
For example, in after-school programs, the participants are overwhelmingly male, severely shortchanging
the leadership potential and social development of thousands of girls. With only 6 percent of philanthropic
dollars allotted to programming specifically geared toward girls, and an increasing number of girls at risk
for entering the juvenile justice system, vigor in research, policy, funding, and programming aimed at girls
and their needs is essential.
Where Are the Girls? presents the case for why it is critical to ensure that all youth programs pay explicit
attention to gender. Parity and growth of gender-sensitive programming for girls within both coeducational
and single-sex settings are crucial. These findings are grounded in substantial research that highlights the
disturbing decline in public attention and funding for girls over the last decade, both locally and nationally.
The report sounds the alarm to researchers, funders, youth program leaders, and policymakers and urges
them to take an active role in responding to girls’ needs with renewed vigor. Below are some of the primary
findings.
1. The need for gender-sensitive youth programming that meets the specific and unique needs of girls
is growing. Based on definitive trends in the coeducation of after-school programming—only 39 percent of
youth participants in local after-school programming are female—and qualitative data collected from those
working on the front lines of girls’ programming, the importance of girls-only programming has become
evident.
2. Funding for single-sex programs, particularly for girls, appears to be drying up. In Boston, 92
percent of foundation dollars go to coed programming; increasingly, specific references to “girls” and
“boys” have been erased from requests for proposals and replaced by references to “children” and “youth.”
2. Girls’ Coalition of Greater Boston Report: Where Are the Girls? Executive Summary, p. 2 of 2
3. Distressing trends relative to girls in the Boston area, combined with the lack of solid information
on girls, speak to the need for continued research on how to meet girls’ needs. While Where Are the
Girls? reflects current data on girls’ programming and funding—both quantitative and qualitative—it also
points out the relative scarcity of comprehensive research on girls and how their specific social and
developmental needs can be met in after-school programming.
Recommendations
This report offers the following recommendations to the constituent groups that can play a key role in
advocating for girls and for gender-sensitive youth programming.
Recommendations to researchers
o Conduct follow-up studies on research done five years ago pertaining to youth programs, in order
to document change over time and examine the effects of progress and/or backsliding in meeting
girls’ needs
o Initiate comparison studies of gender-sensitive and gender-neutral youth programming, to examine
the effects on participating youth
o Engage in dialogue with youth-program practitioners; exchange expertise, and make research
findings accessible to them
o Develop gender-specific research tools to assess girls’ needs and the impact of programs
o Collect and analyze data that look at gender issues over time, that compare girls to boys, and that
examine the intersection of gender and other variables such as race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status,
and sexual orientation
Recommendations to policymakers
o Keep girls on the policy agenda
o Provide opportunities for girls and their adult advocates to meet with legislators
o Work with practitioners, researchers, and funders to advocate for gender-sensitive youth
programming
o Encourage the collection of data by gender
Recommendations to funders
o Create gender- and/or girl-specific funding initiatives (and collaborations)
o Highlight gender and the need for gender-sensitive programs in requests for proposals from youth
programs
o Give gender-sensitive programs time to develop and succeed (multiyear funding)
o Provide funds for evaluation, especially participatory evaluation involving input from girls
o Provide funds for professional development (e.g., youth-worker certification, ongoing gender-
sensitivity training)
o Facilitate collaboration and resource sharing among gender-sensitive programs
o Collect data that examine the intersection of gender and funding (e.g., the amount allocated for
girls-only vs. coed programs)
Recommendations to coed and single-sex girls’ programmers
o Reach out to underserved groups of girls (e.g., immigrant, sexually exploited, lesbian/bisexual/
transgender, court involved)
o Incorporate elements of gender-sensitive programming in design, practice, and evaluation
o Collect data by gender
o Use gender-specific research tools to assess girls’ needs and the impact of programs
o Form collaborations and share resources with other youth programs committed to gender-
sensitivity and diversity
o Provide ongoing opportunities for staff and youth training on gender sensitivity and diversity
o Use resources and trainings developed by the Girls’ Coalition to educate staff, inform parents, and
raise public awareness
