Through The Eyes Of The Homeless, Aisha M. Soto Dec 2014

Through The Eyes Of The Homeless, Aisha M. Soto

University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

When reviewing the entire project from start to completion, I can honestly say, Through the Eyes of the Homeless is a play about ten women and their plight. It illustrates their dealings with everyday issues of hurt, disappointment, abuse, love, and hope.

Despite the horrors that are unveiled and released through hidden secrets, the undertone of betterment is truly resonating.

Teen Empowerment Program Evaluation Empowering Youth And Adults As Agents Of Positive Change, Russell Schutt

Office of Community Partnerships Posters

Teen Empowerment has succeeded in developing and maintaining a program design for engaging at-risk youth and reducing youth violence that can serve as a model for other communities. Its systematic approach to selection, engagement, and transformation provide the foundation for individual achievement and community change. While the study contains substantial evidence of Teen Empowerment’s ability to produce positive results for youth at risk and for community wide change in patterns of adolescent behavior, there is a need to implement a more ambitious evaluation design to conduct the longitudinal and controlled studies needed to better understand the Model’s mechanisms of effectiveness …
